Children (and lots of adults) want hard things to be easy. They walk around all day wishing the difficulty and uncomfortableness in their lives would go away…and become easy.
Mature people don’t wish for hard things, or meaningful things, to be easy. They see the hard thing and embrace the difficulty, not wishing for it to become easier (leveling the mountain) but persist and commit to the task for what it is (climbing the mountain).
We need to stop looking for and wishing for doors to fly open with a flick of our finger. (It’s ok if this happens to happen.)
We need to be more excited about a door that demands our shoulder be put into it.
