Topic: It ain't meant to be easy - page 9. (Read 2071 times)

Sometimes it is the journey and not the goal. Most often than not, we find more value in what we learn from the journey of reaching the goal compared to the outcome it leads us to. The lessons we learn, the struggles, and the people we meet that is basically connection, allows us to grow and be smarter for our future self and the paths we are soon to take.

I agree with you OP, that anything you want to do in life work hard to do it well because there is a reward in everything we are doing which you can start receiving your own reward in your business, in your crypto investment, in your career and Bitcointalk forum. I know many bitcoiners that acquired potential knowledge from Bitcointalk some years ago, but today they are among the wealthy people in my environment because they took their precious time to do everything possible within their power to obey the rules and regulations of Bitcointalk in the forum that enable them to achieve their goal easily. I'm not worry about my position in the Bitcointalk forum, because I know once it is time for me to reach legendary, it will definitely happen because am working hard towards it.

Wow, this is some real encouragement, thanks man I really needed to hear words like these. Life gets real hard, and goals become too difficult to pursue, but we must continue to fight to the end. We sometimes, make up goals for the wrong purpose. Extrinsic purpose always makes one to fail and quit, but if you look for the real joy in whatever you're doing, you're definitely going to succeed. Always look for how to actually learn and help people....that's where true success comes from.

Yes I agree with your opinion. In this life we ​​must fight with all our might to be able to achieve the dreams we want. Because God has bestowed life, a healthy body, and an intelligent mind.
So we should be able to take advantage of the gifts that God has given us. The trick is to work hard, whether physically or mentally. Because ease doesn't just come, surely before it comes there will be obstacles that we must be ready to face gracefully and never give up. And this is true in every aspect of life that exists.
It cannot be denied, that for beginners in this forum, sometimes there are also those who complain about the difficulty of getting merits and to be honest, when I was a beginner, I used to have thoughts like that. So I can't blame beginners who have problems like that, because basically having thoughts like that (it's hard to get merit) is a stage for members in this forum to be able to develop even more. Because if in someone's mind, especially for novice members in this BTT forum, if they don't have thoughts like that, in my opinion people like that don't have the desire to be able to further develop and don't want to get a higher ranking.
But still, just complaining won't change anything. So in essence the difficulties and complaints that exist must be changed so that they become easier and the complaints disappear. Then how do you do it?, namely by learning more, increasing knowledge, and always learning from experience (especially in the field of crypto currency).
In essence, I agree with all the advice you have given, if I conclude the advice you have given in a nutshell, never give up, learn from mistakes, enjoy all the process, and always be consistent with what is being done. And it's all aimed at all aspects of life, including the crypto world and the business world.

We've a local parlance for this where I come from. They say, "If it's easy, it becomes child's play." That captures the whole essence of man's continual struggle pursuing his goals and aspirations. For those who don't like taking a break to relax and chill, and then enjoy what they're labouring for, they find that break in death. It's a sad commentary but then that's the reality of life.

Actually, competition is good. That's what man lives for, whether we admit it or not. Remove competition in life, we won't have much to live for. What's not good is unnecessary competition. It's the same thing that happens with ambition. To be ambitious is okay, but to be vaulting ambitious is wrong.

Kinda gives me the 2018 vibes when merit system was implemented. There were tons of merit fishing users posting and almost recycling any sorts existing quality posts that were already recycled by others gazillion times.

Everyone would just do the laziest way just to benefit the crap out from it. I don't really mind if I get stuck bounded in this rank I already have. I just wanna hangout with other chill users in here. Sure I wear sigs to earn, but that's just the side icing of the cake.

People whining about ranks and merits? Classic. Everyone desires the reward, but few are willing to put out the effort

It's vital to keep in mind that not everyone is cut out for it, even while I welcome your comment about growth and learning; and believe me, I know about growth, especially when it comes to the advent of bitcoin. Growth does take time and work, but some individuals just want it to be quick and simple. How shall I put it? That's just how the beast is. Maybe people should concentrate on something that actually matters rather than playing merit politics. like, say, adding something truly worthwhile to the forum?

Yes, the goal should be to learn more and grow in knowledge so we could also impact meaningful contributions to both new and existing members. But we all have our individual goals and aspirations when registering on here and that’s why we see people on here more focused on the rank on their profiles than the knowledge we all stand to gain.
About members making complaints about not getting the merits they feel they deserve. Needless to say, some members are more eager about getting merits than they are about learning anything.
Admittedly, we all seek and desire to grow in our personal lives and elsewhere but growth requires time and lots of effort. Time and effort some

That's a good point, as they say, when you are not valued, it doesn't mean you are worthless but it means that the place where you are doesn't deserve you. Similarly, if you are running a business and you see that your business isn't actually going well when you know what you are doing is not a bad business in itself, in that situation, you need to understand that you will certainly need to change your location if you have confidence on the product you are selling.

Sometimes, maybe the product you are trying to sell is good but it isn't suitable for that specific location, you might want to try and add some more products after doing some research and observations of the location and the locals so that you can offer them what they actually look for.

Even if you're good at analysis, there will be a point when you will face losses it depends on how much more you have to keep up, some will be frustrated and just give up, and some will take it slow but continue to move on, because of the very high volatility there is no such thing as a perfect investor, we all have our share of ups and downs its the achievement of others are what will aspire us to move on.
He learned our lessons from others who made it they are an example of keeping your focus on your goal.

Life is just easy but we make it hard because we already overthink that success comes too fast which is why we worked hard, we wanted to make it happen right away and so we stressed our minds. But if we just let it comes to us without chasing it to happen instantly, I was sure that we're still good and healthy.

But this is really what we are, we consider life is a sort of competition like business and we need to be on top among others in order to become famous. It was too hard to change the way we see life and so we can see that everyone is aggressive to move forward and do everything just to reach their goal.

Basically "it is what it is"

Problems will come and go, some problems are definitely going to be more detrimental and massively deteriorating, loss of a loved one for example. Same could be said for business, trading, and creating a name for yourself. Roadblocks will come up and it's all about weighing your decisions, sometimes between passion and practicality. It's all about getting back up after every time you fall down. I've had friends who literally came up from nothing, got everything, lost everything later on, and continued with their stuff until they regained such lost funds. It's legendary to behold. I feel like I'm getting off on a tangent here but perhaps I'm just doubling down on the fact that life isn't here to just be enjoyed. It's to be experienced.

Life is definitely uncertain. Sometimes we get lucky and win some challenges, but at some point we get lost and makes life even harder. That’s the reality in life, either we don’t fight and just quit, but we know that will never be the answer. Know that in every failure and obstacle, there’s always a solution to that. Remember that if you want to change your life’s situation and instead find a successful path, you should put all your efforts and hardwork in everything you do, otherwise you’ll keep on beating around the bush and still nothing happens. Life is what you make it, it’s not a matter of chance but it’s always a matter of choice.

If nobody is happy with life then we could have seen suicides everywhere.  It isn't the struggle and effort that is good in satisfying life, it is the entertainment and reward after hard work and struggles that is satisfying life.  Like after a long day hardwork, coming home to see your kids and love ones with a smile on their face ease out all the burdens of the day's hardwork.  Buying something to reward oneself keep the motivation up because there is a goal why we are doing these struggles and hardworks.


Those that do not give up halfway are the ones who are successful.  Many people struggle in life but end up giving up midway and changing focus.  Those who work smart do not struggle but instead enjoy the work with ease.  Life is not all brawn, most of the time we need to use our heads in order to lighten the load and make it easier for us to overcome hurdles to be able to achieve success in life.

Life can be challenging sometimes, and some things are not meant to be easy, that's for sure. Life has a way of throwing us curveballs that sometimes seem impossible to overcome. But the key is to keep pushing forward, one step at a time. It's important to remember that our challenges are an opportunity to grow and learn. And while it may not feel like it at the moment, overcoming those challenges can be incredibly rewarding. So don't give up when things get tough, keep fighting, keep moving forward, and you'll come out stronger carrying those solid life experiences.

There are things that are easy to do, is to dream, fantasize and blame other parties for one's own incompetence.
We agree that when moving for the better there must be obstacles and problems that pounce on us, as if the world is not on our side which makes it a failure in the process of becoming better than our previous versions, as well as in terms of economic life, popularity, achievements and glory that we carry out the process.
People change if their minds and hearts are open, which makes them willing to move to improve themselves, evaluate and keep learning without stopping.

It is there that a businessman must have a dynamic soul towards market situations and conditions, which makes him more anticipatory. This is commonplace in any country, but depending on whether you play in the business world, you also have to run the political map to achieve more glory, business does not depend on the quality of goods or anything with the condition of goods, companies that will die quickly are those who do not adjustments to the times and market demand, and the side of the plan you should not depend on one strategy.

I now always envy those who are always contented with what they have or what they have accomplished, I was like this years back until something changed within me, I feel like I am not trying enough and the result is not getting satisfied no matter what I do.

This is why I believe that nothing comes for free in this world we are living in, there is always something to pay for when you engage in everything, the more we seek the more we will remain unsatisfied.

Now I can't even go back to the way I used to be, my happiness was unlimited, and I hardly had a frown face, always happy, but as I grew up into a man I went cold, now that I have something going on in my life I don't want to stop and it's scary whenever I think about it.

For the business aspect sometimes it can be very difficult to make a profits that will make you feel happy because not opening a business is the major things, we can have a good products but based on the environment the business is the products won't sell and again sometime life can be hard for just one particular reasons and these reason is very difficult to know maybe I will say that's how life was programmed to be, we can't define the real tomorrow but we can predict tomorrow that's why the tomorrow we predicted might end up turning negative to us just like the way we all predicts the price of a bitcoin.
The real things is business can't be successful all the times, in some environments things are getting hard and businesses aren't going well like before but that doesn't mean that the product is not a good one sometimes you can be selling a good product in your company but based on the locality the company is the situation of the country will manipulate the company and things will no longer goes well.

Nothing in life comes easy, that happens in dreams. I agree with the OP that whenever we start the upward movement some problems will crop up, these can be managed. The problem is that some people walk away and don't want to work hard on their career, life choices and merits for that matter.

Well I think people can change though, and they may start having better work habits gradually. Hence try to encourage any person whom we across with a easy going lazy attitude.

It is a good thing to be flexible about life. You never know when a curveball gets raised.

Learning is equivalent to improvement. No matter what your journey of learning is, may it be full of hurdles and struggles or full of success along the way, still the endgame is you will be able to learn something. What to keep on doing and what not to do. Hence, learning is improvement in a way that you put what you learn to action.
