sometimes harder is easier. by declaring something difficult, it's more palatable to justify not making any progress toward achieving it. or giving up all together. but other times it's just hard. i don't know which this is.--you


You and all your well laid plans. Brotherly Love indeed. where is my love i would like to know?
are you giving up? how could this be so difficult as to warrant giving up? the end result is much better than giving up.

hard or harder, does it matter? NO. Why? Because the end result is worth it. how can you tell when you win the battle? you take the land you fought it on.

do you honestly gauge whether or not to do something by its difficulty level? are you willing to give up because it makes you uncomfortable to challenge yourself to fight for something you want?

how else do you obtain something you want?

is talking to me so difficult that you would rather give up on us? do you not see how we are both at stake here? you are giving up our happiness, not just yours.

what makes it so difficult? is it things inside or outside of your control? If you control them, can't you just make the choice to turn it off?

you are saying that you don't want to play capture the flag because it would involve reaching out for it. Huh? So you would rather lose the game than to have to reach?
How else do you obtain the flag? at some point you have to reach out and take it. who cares what it took to get there. the point is that you have to get the flag. so who cares if it is separated by a grassy field or a vast moat? the point is the flag, not the moat. nobody cares what you have to do to get there, the only way to win is to get the flag.

but am i not worth the hassle of reaching for me? can't you see that by not reaching you are giving up on me? can't you see me on the other side of the moat with my open arms waiting? if there were a bridge i would build it. if i had a boat i would cross it. are you saying that you are unwilling to learn to swim? if you didn't know how to swim and i was on the other side of a river, would you not try anyway? would you not meet me half way?

can't you see me? can't you see that i am waiting for you? Can't you see that every path has a river to cross or a mountain to scale? can't you see that it isn't about reaching the top of Mount Everest as much as it is defying those who said it wasn't possible? Do you really think people climb Mount Everest so they can see the tip of the mountain? they do it to overcome themselves. the altitude and weather are just obstacles before getting there. that is why there is suffering and difficulty. the point is to overcome the battle within ourselves because that is what triumph is.

look past the moat. if you can see the flag, what is stopping you? i am here waiting for you. you know it is possible, so reach for me. and i will reach out to meet you.

ps, about the weight thing. everyone knows metabolism slows as we age. but weight doesn't come out all at once. AND 160 is your target weight? you are not allowed to weigh as much as i do. that really makes me want to starve myself. you gain weight when you gain muscle, right? because seriously, we cannot weight the same.
