If you choose the easy route too often, you’re setting yourself up for a hard life.

Think about it:

You don’t have to be nice to people.
You don’t have to do public speaking.
You don’t have to go to the gym.
You don’t have to go to bed on time.
You don’t have to cook a healthy meal instead of ordering takeout.

You can sit and do nothing. But let’s be honest—how does that work out for you in the long run?

The Consequences of Choosing the Easy Route

What are the consequences of not prioritizing your health, even when you know you need to?

The answer: initially, nothing happens.

If you skip eating healthy for one day and order pizza instead, nothing drastic happens. But over time, the compounding effects of neglecting what you know you should be doing will creep up on you. And before you know it, it’s game over.

Yes, doing the hard things is, well, hard. It’s much easier to choose the easy route. But that’s where this powerful life principle comes into play:

Hard Things = Easy Life, Easy Things = Hard Life

This principle is a guide for making better decisions and building a life you’re proud of.

Why Doing Hard Things Matters

Every time you choose the easy route, remind yourself not to. Instead, embrace the difficult path. Here’s why:

When you face your fears every day, the uncomfortable things become more comfortable.
When you get used to the discomfort of lifting weights and going to the gym, your confidence grows.
As your confidence grows, so does your self-esteem, and you begin to feel the way you want to feel—because you’re doing the work.

The Formula for Success

Here’s how it works:

Do Hard Things: Push yourself out of your comfort zone.
Create Consistency: Show up regularly, even when it’s tough.
Build Momentum: Each small win leads to bigger successes.
Live a Better Life: Confidence, health, and happiness follow.
