Life Is Hard!

Life is Hard.  Life is Hard.  Life is Hard.  Life is Hard.  If you expect life to be easy, then you are going to make life EVEN HARDER.  Life is Hard.  Don't make it HARDER.  God didn't say "... IF you face trials ...".  He said, "... WHENEVER you face trials ..." James 1:2.  He didn't just say "when" but "whenever" because they are going to happen A LOT.  The sooner we realize life is hard and we won't make it through cleanly and perfectly, we can then see failures or mistakes that we make as part of life and part of the process toward growth and reaching our full potential.  “If you are afraid of failure you don’t deserve to be successful!” Charles Barkley
