Best Gift to Gift You

April 30, 2025

I think one of the best gifts we can give ourselves while we exist on this side of eternity is learning to embrace difficult things.

It is my opinion from my personal experience that -
Solving the hardest problems first stretches your mind.
Solving the easiest ones first makes us comfortable.
(Not always a bad thing but sometimes, it trains our brains to run from resistance.)

Then, when the real challenge comes, we panic. We retreat. We go back to the safe task we’ve already mastered.

atleast is what I noticed with me.

But what if we did the hard thing first?

What if we didn’t try to learn everything at once, just the one difficult thing in front of us?
What if we stopped waiting for difficulty to feel easy, and just got used to showing up anyway?

Anyways.

Signed,

Someone who’s taking the path of least resistance all her life and is now learning to gift herself the joy of embracing hard things.
