Suffering comes from comparing what is to my personal preferences.

Growing up isn’t something that happens automatically. It’s something you have to choose to do.

If people smoked one cigarette and developed a horrible cough, most people would stop. If you exercised once and felt amazing immediately, most people would keep it up.

Being a change-maker means evolving the status quo. If you’re already successful there’s a good chance you’re part of that status quo.

If your work or business doesn’t involve overcoming significant hurdles, then it’s value probably isn’t high.
