on hardships and joy

So I was reading article on Nieztsche and his view on hardships and challenges in relation to human growth and achievement

Apparently, we, human grow stronger after each of our encounter with challenges and hardships.

The more we seek the joy of achievement and accomplishment, the more suffering and pain we have to go through. The principle is just as conflict as our complicated nature is.

It is just inevitable. To taste the greatest pleasure, one must endure the equally greatest pain.

Certainly only the brave one who chase and survive the contest will be rewarded with priceless award.

In certain point of life, everyone who seeks personal growth and wisdom will surely experience the challenge of hardships borne on the journey to their evolution. No pain no gain. It is just as succinct as the words themselves.

I am at one of those stairs leading to one of the high rooftop I've set for years.

Maybe I've made it to the middle, maybe I've just passed 30% but the hardest 30%, or maybe I'm over 70% and nearly there.

Recalling when you climb the stairs, the most tiring point is when you are about 50%~80% of the stairs. When first started, your fresh energy easily push you straight to 40~50% of the journey. That is when the energy started to drain and the prospect of the work to be done is long and hard enough to make you feel uneasy and even more tired than your physical body perceives.

It is when your mind needs only a little stimulant of the scene of you reaching the top to continue on when your physical body really is about to give up to continue to charge forward steps by steps. When you pass that hardest part, nothing could hardly become your hindrance. You will make it to your goal.   

So here I am at one of those hardest part when I started to doubt myself... but as the greatest thinkers have pointed out, the greater joy you seek, the greater pain you must endure.

There's nothing else but to believe in yourself, believe in human, believe in the future possibility and keep pressing forward. NO time to waste questioning the future. You just have to advance.

This is what you want and what you seek. 

The resilient and the courageous would prevail.

 

Wish me luck and faith to go ahead. For the greater pleasure in life
