You have a point. I guess for me it's the difference between working smarter to accomplish a goal vs taking that shortcut to avoid perceived failure.
To be honest I feel like for most of my life everything has been difficult to me. Frustratingly so. More frustrating is I'm surrounded by people who see potential in me and they themselves are frustrated at my lack of thriving in my life. I'm trying to correct all this and my thinking and to start believing the sky's the limit for me. But I just don't see it. Not yet at least. And I don't know, but it feels like my life path is one of difficulty. Like I'm supposed to go through all this so I can teach other people a better way. Maybe that's just a rationalization from my brain so I just hold onto old ways of thinking. Not entirely sure anymore.
