Easy and comfortable

If you want to be comfortable, get a good mattress, and have
a good, comfortable eight hours of sleep each night. Then,
with the other sixteen hours in every day, you can
enthusiastically deal with the difficult challenges, knowing
that soon you'll be in your comfortable bed again.

A life filled with nothing but ease and comfort is a very
empty life indeed. If all you do is what's easy and
comfortable, you'll miss out on all but a tiny fraction of
life's richness.

The most authentically fulfilling things are not the easiest
things. You know that from past experience.

The times you'll treasure most are the times when you're
able to make a real and meaningful difference. To bring
true, lasting value into your world you must venture away
from what's easy and comfortable.

If you wish to choose success and achievement, then you must
choose to be comfortable with not being comfortable some of
the time. The easy things have already been done, so choose
to do the difficult, complicated, challenging things that
will bring great value.

In the long run, easy is not really so easy, because it
leads to painful regret for the opportunities missed. Avoid
saddling your future self with that regret by jumping fully
into life in every waking moment.

-Ralph Marston
Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse
Of my innocence... got back my inner sense...

    Gotta fail to succeed.

    Gotta be willing and brave enough to fail, to look like an ass, and then learn.

    Yeah, I like this.

    Plus we probably wouldn't fully appreciate the pleasure without the pain it took to get there.

    (I've become fond of my scars, too)
