Good Things Don't Come Easy in Life.
I have been around in the world for some time and the system hasn't changed a bit. The journey to the top is always challenging and it's beyond just being prepared. Although, the importance of thorough preparedness can't be taken away as it is one of the basic requirements to become successful but it doesn't end with that.
There are a lot of people who work day and night, they have got everything to become successful and yet they are not depending on what our definition of success is. There is more to success than just preparedness and figuring out the more we need for the journey is something we must do by ourselves because the more I need might be different from yours.
The saying that "Good things don't come easy in life" is one of the facts in the world and the earlier an individual realizes that, the better for them. If every human can look back at their journey, we will realise that everything we have been through in life didn't happen easily.
Although none of us have the memory of our birth but we have been told stories. Coming to the world didn't happen with ease, we went through different childhood and teenage challenges and here we are still taking challenges as adults just because every good thing we desire comes with a huge price.
At the point when I and my wife decided to relocate to the UK, we both knew it was one of the biggest decisions we had ever taken in life. It wouldn't happen easily and we had to invest every resource in that direction before the dream came to reality. It wasn't easy and despite our preparedness, we relied on God and He perfected the plan by crowning our efforts.
There are times we are keen on achieving something but we find it challenging, a lot of people turn away immediately just because of the challenge while some quit at the point of breakthrough. As long as our dreams are realistic, nothing should prevent us from going all out to achieve them.
I remember when I discovered Hive, I was eager to accomplish great things through the platform and just like every member experienced, the journey was tough but the fact that I understood that nothing comes easy in life gave me the strength to remain here and it paid off in the long run.
There are many times I wondered what the world would look like if success was cheap. As lovely as it would be, the world would be boring and a lot of things we value right now wouldn't have a pinch of value since we got them cheaply.
I have a lot to say but I don't want to make it too lengthy. I am happy to continue in the comment section.
All images are mine.
Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.
Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

Nothing is easy, everything we want couldn't be attained without working hard
Not unless we are so lucky 😁
There is even a working for luck.
I saw somewhere that 'luck' is when an opportunity meets preparedness.
I really gave it a thought and it made some sense to me
Even luck, you have to strategically position yourself sometimes. Nothing works with ease. Nothing is without a price. Like you said, nothing is easy.
We have to put in the work to achieve anything meaningful in life. In my language we would say that whatever we work for lasts and what we don't work for, it's easy to squander it without much thought. Thank you, Lhes.
In order to achieve success, a person has to make his heart very good and big and he has to listen to people's words. They worry a lot and even go into depression due to worry. Even when a person starts his own business, he has to work very hard for the first two years, then after the business starts, he does not start making profit and people only say that later. It is making a lot of money and they never see the hard work.
We ourselves have worked hard for the last eight years of our life, then we have become successful. People only say that these people have achieved success, they never mention the hard work that a person has done in the past. Over the years, they only bother a person in the same way because they can never be happy with your success because the people who hate you say that a person should never be successful and we too. I have seen one thing that without hard work one can never get success.
I think luck is correlated to your hard work, if you are not working hard and only dependent on your luck, you won't achieve anything. You need to work hard even for your luck to give you something.
I understand and agree with your point. Nothing good comes easy.
And it's quite unfortunate that some of our youths today seem to forget that. The majority of youths today only want to invest their time and efforts into things that will give them quick money. I mean if that was the ultimate path to success, I think a lot of the general public will be well to do.
Some of us are just not willing to do the work necessary and required to live a good and easy life. The common saying these days is "there is no reward for the person that has suffered the most". Which in a sense is right but there is also dignity and reward in labour.
Your message is valid and thanks for reminding us of this. It does get tiring to show up everyday without instant gratification.
One of the problems we are having in the contemporary age is that we see suffering as entirely evil, not caring to differentiate between the productive from non-productive ones, the necessary ones from the unnecessary ones. Such suffering that is imminent in achieving some goals.
For instance in the schooling system, students must pay some price to attain a distinct academic success. Such price is imminent, so unavoidable, and it's a positive and necessary suffering if at all it is worth tagging 'suffering'
Every time I see your post and I am happy to see that you are living a very good and happy life with your family. Every human being should live the same life. It is true that if a person wants to be successful, he will have to work hard. Without hard work, a person can never become a good person and a successful person. In today's era, a person is never respected until he is successful, so it is better that instead of saying to people, "I have respect, then a person should get that position in life that people respect him and from him." Try to meet.
Exactly my point!
It is necessary to suffer in order to get what we want and achieve success, well said.
This is brilliant. Indeed there is dignity and reward in labour. I enjoyed this lovely contribution. Thank you.
There is dignity in labour
No truer words have been said ever.
It's important for us to know that those who reached the top didn't get there in a day but the problem is that we want to get to the top immediately which is not so easy.
It's a gradual process
Absolutely
It is a gradual process. It might even be a slow one for some but the most important thing is that we progress, we move forward.
I would love to agree with you here, nowadays our youth don't want to work hard, also they don't want to make changes, the only thing they want is quick success and believe there is no shortcut to success. Success gained quickly will fly away quickly. Real success comes from hard work and passion. You need to work hard for a very long time to create the grounds for success. You need to work you ass off to gain in life.
Well said, nothing good comes easy... We have to work for it. For a student to get an A in his/her examination the student needs to study hard so also other businesses too, to thrive one needs to work hard and smart.
Hard and smart, my guy.
Work hard in the right direction.
This way, every hard work has a reward. I agree with you.
👍👍
Absolutely...it cuts across every walk of life. Whatever we want to achieve, no matter what, we have to put in the work.
Our life is like an examination hall, if you believe the after life, you will be answerable for the things you are doing in this life, if you are doing deeds, you will be rewarded with heaven, on the other hand if you are indulge in bad things, you will be thrown to hell.
We must make sacrifices for the feats we deem worthy of achieving.
There is a saying that nothing is free even in Freetown😂. Such a fact! I think it's an absolute truth.
Whatever is enjoyed free, has been paid for by some other person or somehow indirectly.
Truth is that most people are aware that sacrifices are prerequisites for achieving greatness, but just few people are ready to sacrifice and give up the immediate pleasure or go outside their comfort zone in order to achieve such greatness.
What a trap!
God help us all because grace seems to be a thing here💫💫💫
Sacrifices are definitely.. they're must do unless you're not ready to get to the top.
Exactly the point... If you have it easy, just know that someone paid the price... This world is never easy at all
Well, may God help us all to be determined to take the sacrifices till the very end because it's not easy making sacrifices also
Nobody can achieve success without giving Sacrifices. If we read history, it is full of the sacrifices that were given by our forefathers, who sacrifice for their generations to come. I would like to mention here to sacrifices given by our forefathers, In the subcontinent, when Pakistan and India got separated and gained independence, the people who wanted to migrate to Pakistan and the people who wanted to migrate to India, sacrifice a lot in their journey, their kids got murdered, their women got assaulted, their old ones got killed and humiliated. Today we are independent, but we don't know the value of this independence, how this was achieved.
The problem young ones have today is nobody want to work they forget that good thing are hard to come by
Life is not easy my friend, I came to know from an old person in my family that, our life has 90% sorrow and 10 happiness.
Yes dear life is not easy at all
Nothing comes easy. Everything comes with a price and only those who pay the price would be willing to reap the reward. It's a long painful road but rewarding. Nothing comes easy without sweat and whatever comes without sweat hardly lasts.
Absolutely!
The journey to success is not for the faint, it is a difficult journey that news both physical, mental and spiritual preparedness. Using Hive as an example is awesome, nothing comes easy as long as success is involved.
Absolutely, my brother. We have to grind so hard on Hive...be everywhere... participate in everything...give our presence, produce quality posts and do the hard work.
Phewww... It's never ending at all😂
But one good hint about all these things is getting to find joy in doing whatever you're doing... It really takes away some of the stress away as you find it fun doing them
Yay! 🤗

I super agree with you friend, here there is not much to comment, my parents since childhood have told me that what comes easy comes easy goes, life without challenges would be very boring, the difficult is what makes life a little fun and interesting, besides that forges us a character and of course much more experience for future occasions and not stumble over the same stone twice, we must be competitive with ourselves in any circumstance that comes our way, abrazo hermano @olawalium ♥
Indeed, whatever that comes easy in this life is either worthless or it goes easily as it came... Your parents made no mistake In saying that at all.
It's the competition with ourselves that really gets us going, it brings out the best in us
You have said it all nothing should stop us from pursuing that dreams no matter how challenging it looks because nothing good comes easily.
How is everyone doing over there
This └( ＾ω＾)」! Realistic, and let's add the determination, that with resilience. Nothing could go wrong with that, believe that it will happen, and while we're doing so let's continue to move forward and break those walls that's stopping us from achieving it. It's hard but as you said, success is not cheap, and it's not cheap because we had a hard time achieving it, we work HARD I mean ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ
Those are really the keywords to getting anything done on earth
Determination> Realistic>Resilience
It's mostly the effort we put in actualising a particular task that makes it enjoyable and fun once we've actualised it
To achieve greater heights we need to move out of our comfort zones so we can put our skills and abilities to good use. Coupled with hardwork and dedication, there’s no way you won’t make it in life.
You worked hard to be where you are today and you should be proud of yourself.
It is a fact that whatever a person has in life, he does not get it without hard work. If a person wants to be successful in this world, then he has to work hard and work day and night. He earns a place in this world and people start liking him for what he is.Until a man is successful, no one respects a man and this is a fact he himself has seen. Sometimes a person has to listen to many insults and also has to work hard, then a person becomes successful in his life.
That's it... Even though sometimes we don't get the reward of so much hardwork we placed in tasks but it's always worth working hard for a particular task... It gives us edge in whatever we're doing and hopefully, nature smiles on us one
more time.
In our world today, the only way to earn maximum respect is to be successful.. you've got to earn that
You have rightly stated that man sometimes works hard but the reward of his hard work is not what he thinks, so still man should not be hopeless in it. Someone opens up and after some time passes he gets a lot of good success because of that Due to which a person gets a lot of success and his future life becomes prosperous, then a person should never disappoint and should wait for his good time and should pray for a good time. It has happened to us so many times in life that we work hard but can't succeed, still we should keep working hard, if we do, success is sure.
Exactly
Yes.
That's what makes it the top😂.... Never having it the easy way
Well, I really still love the fact that in as much as you tried painting the picture of preparedness not all you need to get to the top, you still gave credence to the fact that it's really a great one to consider because people will always say, Opportunities meets only those who prepare themselves
At the point we get to believe that this world is never really worth staying without God's assistance is the point where I'll say we have successfully deciphered the world we live in... God takes over where our efforts and preparedness stops and takes it to the finish line... We can't just neglect the roles of God in our lives.
It's been a while with you sir but coming back and still seeing a banger, I'm glad I got to read this.
Thanks for posting as always 😊
Wow
It's really long i got to hear from you.
Happy new month
You have a very beautiful family, not only physically, it is easy to deduce the harmony in which they live, I congratulate you and I think that you deserve to be happy, you are a good man.
I wish you a happy weekend
A beautiful write from an attractive man like you !!! yes, life is hard and It is a must to face challenges to achieve things in life. Otherwise, we won't be able to feel the feeling of success and accomplishment. If things are meant to come easy in your life. the value of those things will be demolished. We here in Pakistan want to move to the UK due to the situation here, but we don't have the resources to do that. Thankfully you and your wife used all the resources you have to leave your country, where life was tough, to move to the UK. You know the value of this thing and I can sense it from your writing, It was hard but you accomplished it. Congratulations man.
