The Difficult Stuff

Don’t be afraid of the difficult stuff. Get enthusiastic about it.

Don’t avoid the hard, complicated tasks. Run out and greet them with open arms.

Imagine how great it will be to have those things done, and to have the value they will create. Imagine, then jump in and enjoy bringing that value to life.

While everybody else is complaining about and avoiding and resenting what they must do, leap out ahead and distinguish yourself. Embrace the challenges and activate your resourcefulness to transform those challenges into achievement.

Great opportunities are everywhere in this world. Let yourself know the joy and satisfaction of making those great opportunities into shining new realities.

Go ahead and put forth some challenging effort in the service of a meaningful purpose. And see how quickly it energizes your life.
