Effort comes before ease.

Many people want the easy life.

That motivation is a good thing...

If it leads you to do the hard work that makes life easy!

Doing 50 pushups is hard... until it becomes easy.

Lifting 50 lbs is hard... until it becomes easy.

Writing 50 posts is hard... until it becomes easy.

The outset of any journey will face you with what you're unfamiliar and uncomfortable with.

The longer you stay on a path, you'll start to recognize patterns and figure out how to address them.

The desire to have things easy is good... as long as you're willing to go through the effort to develop the skill to make it easy.

Easy is the destination.

Effort is the path.

It's always effort before ease.
