A definite goal & purpose
We should all have some form of goal and target that we want to reach to stop us from straying blindly in life.
Without goals and targets we cannot sustain the hardships and difficulties of life.
I myself can say that my goals and targets have prevented me from doing some of the wrong things in life that others around me may have fallen victim to.
By setting goals we have hope for the future and what we could potentially become if we suffer through the hardships that it may take to achieve these goals. Furthermore, achieving goals allows us to experience things that we never could have expected to experience.
So therefore, it is better to suffer through hardship to get the opportunity to experience some of the benefits of going through these hardships when we accomplish our goal.
suffer, succeed, be rewarded and then repeat....
