Per Aspera Ad Astra

You heard me right. Ya gotta go where the bumps are. Choose the difficult route so to speak.

But why the heck?
Who in his right mind wants to go through the loops, humps, thumps, and all the hoolabaloo?
Why choose the long path when there's a shortcut?

Well, much as I also hate it...
IT'S THE WAY UP.
Only when you tread along a journey of sticks and stones will you learn to appreciate what you have, where you are, and who you've become. Reality is, there's an easy way out. Cheating your way out of something is not only tempting but is also the more popular choice. But I never believed it when they said majority wins. Only a few stand up and meet the challenge. It's best to put yourself to the test 'coz only then will you realize your strengths and weaknesses. Gain the experience. Earn the respect. And you'll be soaring high. You just need to believe that you can do it. Be bold and daring so that you can better yourself.

I guess it seems crazy. Seems like I ask you to face a difficult life. But it's all a matter of perspective. When you look at losses as opportunites for growth, you're on the right track.

Take the rough road and you'll be traveling light.

Per Aspera Ad Astra
A rough road leads to the stars.

Author's endless note: This just bumped me. Whatever happened to me? I gotta put down the cynicism I'm wearing, try on my old self.
