What is difficult?

If there is life, there will be challenges. Not everything happens as what one has wished for. There are numerous instances when things may turn out in an unexpected way. There will be many ups and downs, and twists and turns in life. Life is a roller coaster ride. At points, you scream in ecstasy and at times cry in fear. Life is a blend of every emotion. So when good times last we enjoy, but when bad times are there we lose heart, but to remember is one thing only that if good days have not lasted even bad days won't last long enough. Every time has to pass and with changing phases things ought to change.

Now thinking about what is really difficult in life. My observation says that only two things make anything difficult. One - dislike  and second - inability to understand that particular thing or task. 

For instance, consider a person who likes cooking and another one who dislikes. The former one will always excel the latter. The reason - he likes it and will indulge in the task to best of his ability, try newer things, will explore, invent and so on. However, the second person dislikes cooking , so he would cook if need be but just for the sake of completing the task. The lack of interest will never motivate that person to do better or even try to be better. This person will always find cooking so difficult.

Now if we consider understanding, let us take example of students. Usually students will dislike a subject which they do not understand. These subjects will always be difficult for them. The subjects they cannot relate to or cannot understand are the subjects which would be most difficult for them.

Even with people, we might have this issue. You might find it difficult to adjust with a person you actually dislike or are unable to understand. Here again, it is related. You will dislike a person as long as you are not able to understand them. Understanding at least will remove or reduce the dislike though may not escalate to develop liking.

Great people have said that nothing is difficult or impossible. Yes, it is true. If we develop an attitude of liking and understanding towards anything, everything becomes easy.

Life is not difficult. It is just a combination of so many phases one different from other. We just have to do our part and go on. Nothing is difficult and permanent!
