From: Willie Ashford,

We live in a soft time. People have become overly accustomed to getting precisely what they want, and

they have become extremely unused to having to put in truly hard work and graft.

The world around us is just too comfortable.

Chances are that you work in a plush air conditioned office.

You come home and you sit on a soft couch to watch great TV, eating something sweet that you didn’t need to cook.

When you’re finished, you only need to press a button to start the dishwasher.

This is why so many of today’s generation struggle to demonstrate any real sticking power, motivation, or

mental toughness. Why would they? They have never needed it.

This is why so many people now flip flop between jobs. It’s why they go away on long holidays. And it’s why their reaction to stress is to curl up in a ball and hope it ends.

Few people these days do ANYTHING that they don’t want to do. They don’t do ANYTHING they don’t

find comfortable.
