Don’t Wish It Was Easy, Wish You Were Better

When I was little, tea was usually prepared for the family in one big container. Once I was served mine, my leg would shake in excitement as I sat quietly in one corner to enjoy my sweet hot tea and soft bread. Halfway through, I would sip my tea slowly and eventually add water to increase the quantity. The more I diluted the tea, the less exciting the feeling became for me. Not that I wouldn’t do the same the following day when we were served tea.

Like the tea, people often think that making something go their way makes it easier for them. This is seen in every sphere of life. And in the long run, it’s just a diluted tea, a whale in a shallow river. If you keep turning the hands (seconds) of the clock back every minute, you will end up saying “good morning” at night.

The statement from Jim Rohn, “Don’t wish it was easy, wish you were better,” opines that rather than wishing for easy tasks, we should focus on improving ourselves to become better equipped to handle difficult challenges. The ability to tackle complex problems not only enhances our personal growth but also sets us apart from others.

In most situations, people will wish for dry weather during the rainy season. They will wish that hard times could be made easy to fit their capabilities. We should not wish for fewer problems, rather, we should wish for more skills. Do not wish for less challenge, wish for more wisdom. Times will be hard, and the only way they can get better for us is if we get better.
