Sometimes in life, suffering a little is better than not because it moves you forward, deepens your commitment and elevates your desire.
Rarely is suffering not attached with a gift.
On the other hand, when the road is too easy, paved with lots of advantages, praise, encouragement and/or money, it can keep you unfulfilled, unsure and weak.
To self empower ourselves we need to develop strength and earn another vertebrae in our spine.
