I think life is hard because we’re presented with so many choices.
Why? Why now? Why me?…
We have as many reasons not to do sth as we would do it, if not even much more. So being contend with what we have is usually our choices. And that causes mediocrity.

I could imagine how life would be much easier if it’s just “fight or die”. Fight to get what you want or die trying it. Yes fight!
