The older I get the more I think too much comfort leads to indolence and other bad habits. Productive struggle is what we are built for. To strive and overcome, to get better.
We have, right now, the ability to take stock of our situation. To understand where we are, and appreciate what we have, especially compared to others around the world. To appreciate what we will gain after the current situation is resolved. And to understand that there will be worse times to come so appreciate the moment.
It is that appreciation that currently drives me forward. That pushes me up when I fall down, that allows me to strive to get better. It keeps me from falling into the trap of comfort and complacency.
I have chosen to view these times as an opportunity to temper myself. To get better. To treat this as a productive struggle for myself.
