Everything about life is hard. Nobody has it easy.
The only difference is strategy.
Some run from it...
Some mask it...
Some chase pleasure to hide from it.
Regardless, life's noose just gets tighter. That's when everything starts to look blurry and ugly.
...society has a million ways to help you run from life's difficulties. It encourages running.
The alternative strategy is to embrace difficulty with The Android Life; charge through life's obstacles with robot-like focus and determination regardless of how you feel.
A simple metaphor always presents itself in the soap lab.
Saponification is the reaction that makes soap. At Filthy Animal, our bars can take up to a year for this process to finish. We use a Babylonian recipe that's thousands of years old. The end result is a bar that nourishes and protects skin, face and hair.
(One bar does it ALL.)
Babylonian soap is natures purest and most valuable medicine. It keeps skin and hair shiny and young. But it's also a natural antibiotic antiviral!
To start this reaction, it requires hand stirring for at least an hour. No distractions, you are the android focused only on one thing: watching for "trace."
Once trace happens, you being adding the essential oils and such. You have to move methodically and carefully and let nothing get in your way. Time is limited. Time is valuable.
That's the same strategy in life.
Once you know what you're aiming for, go after it with android-like determination. In time, you'll build callous' for fatigue, hunger, boredom, thirst, heartache, fear of missing out and even cravings for all the vices that hold you back...
The trade off is that your mind and spirit will stay light and free...and you'll achieve all of your goals. In fact, you'll achieve far more.
So don't forget, everything is hard for everyone! You can choose either the pain of discipline or the pain of defeat. It's all on you.
