Growth is painful.
Suffering is optional.
Many people think pushing harder equals growth. But often, what feels like “discipline” is actually self-abandonment.
This episode unpacks:
You always choose a hard path.
The question is: which hard are you choosing?
“You choose your hard path or you choose your harder path.”
The easy path feels good now —
but compounds suffering later.
The hard path feels painful now —
but builds strength, clarity, and integrity.
Pain = inevitable.
Growth stretches you.
Suffering = turning away from something you know you need to face.
Suffering is hiding.
Pain is becoming.
You are enough.
You don’t have to become someone else to be worthy.
Growth should stretch you — not erase you.
If this hit something real for you, share it with one person who might need to hear it.
