Challenges need to be overcome to get to the end we want:saving up for that new car, working late nights and weekends to launch the new product, changing career and having to start over.

It can feel like a struggle. You feel as if you will never reach the end. You question your tenacity, abilities, and resolve. You long for easier times. In contrast, when it is simple, without effort or sacrifice, how much do you cherish the outcome? Did you have a sense of accomplishment?

It is funny how those hardships later make the result more special. When the grind presents itself, as difficult as it may be to remind yourself of this, the end will be worth it and the coffee will be even richer.
