We don't need an easier life.

If we only do what's easy, then we will slowly lose the will to live. We need challenges and a purpose to work towards to. Else, our spirit withers. Resilience is built through strength-training, not through silver spoons and retreats.

Instead of avoiding stressful experiences, we can optimize stress to help us achieve our worthy ideals.

How do we match our stress response proportionately to the actual threat, so that we don't make our life miserable and so are of those around us? How do we actively direct our attention on selected situations and meaningful goals instead of chaotically responding to random things that come our way? Mindfulness and meditation.

We don't need an easier life, we need to take life easy
            through the training of our mind, body, spirit, and heart;
      meditate and expand.
