Why Difficulty Defines Some And Not Others

We all have hard things happen to us in life.

I’ve often wondered what makes one person succeed in the face of great difficulty while other people wander around, never finding the success they were hoping for.

Lately I’ve realized a big reason for this is that there is a difference between having something difficult happen to you and being willing to do something difficult. Difficult things happen to all of us (some more difficult than others). In the face of those difficulties, we have a decision to make.

We can take the easy way out. We can blame, punish, get bitter, resentful, push the responsibility off of ourselves.

Or, we can do the hard thing. Which is to own our shit. Take the high road. Forgive. Do the work to move past what has happened to us.

Those who do the hard work will not be negatively defined by their difficult circumstances.

Those who choose to do the easy thing in the face of great difficulty will, unfortunately, be defined by that choice.

I know I’ve taken the easy road a hundred times but I hope I’m learning to take the more difficult one. The path is always open to us if we’re willing to walk it. I’m learning.

  1. Thanks Alison. I needed to hear this today. And it’s a comfort when you’re so honest about taking the easy way a hundred times as it gives us the permission to confess too. Big blessings to you!

  2. And then there are those of us who were held responsible for everyone else’s garbage, making taking responsibility all the more difficult because, sometimes, it really isn’t our responsibility!

  3. I needed to thank you for this excellent read!!
    I definitely loved every bit of it. I’ve got you book-marked to
    check out new stuff you post…

  4. My brother recommended I would possibly like this web site.
    He was once totally right. This publish truly made my day.
    You can not believe simply how much time I had spent for this information! Thank you!

  5. I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s
    both equally educative and entertaining, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail
    on the head. The issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about.
    I am very happy I found this in my hunt for something regarding this.

  6. Hello! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with Search Engine Optimization? I’m trying to get my blog to
    rank for some targeted keywords but I’m
    not seeing very good gains. If you know
    of any please share. Appreciate it!

  7. Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wished to say that I
    have really enjoyed surfing around your blog posts. In any case I’ll be subscribing to your rss
    feed and I hope you write again very soon!

  8. Hey! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if you knew where
    I could get a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours
    and I’m having trouble finding one? Thanks a lot!

    I got my ex husband back to me and also got fertile and gave birth to twin girls after 12 years of marriage.
    When I came online last year, I saw a testimony about Doctor ODUNGA and how he has been helping people with marriage issues and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and later he gave me his WhatsApp number which is +2348167159012. He assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. Doctor Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contact. The third day, I received natural herbs for fertility and after using it, I became fertile and conceived. I and my husband reconnected, had sex and I was pregnant. Presently I am happy to say I am the mother of twin girls and this is ALL THANKS TO DOCTOR ODUNGA. I came online to say this If you need help, I believe you are saved with this man.
