It's All Hard
Show notes
It’s all hard. Building a career is hard. Leading people is hard. Marriage is hard. Parenting is hard. Starting over is hard. Staying the course is hard.
But some hard things get even harder the longer you avoid them.
In this episode, Ryan talks about why avoiding a difficult decision doesn’t eliminate the consequences. It simply hands them to your future self, usually with interest. The conversation you don’t have today gets harder tomorrow. The boundary you refuse to set becomes more expensive later. And sometimes, indecision is a decision all by itself.
You don’t always get to choose between hard and easy. Sometimes you’re choosing between hard now and harder later.
It’s all hard. Choose the hard that builds the life you actually want.
