The struggle is hard. Therefore, it’s not only stopping yourself from eating too much, watching too much or smoking too much. You could become better by doing better. You could sit up and read a page of a book instead of lying in bed all day. You can embrace struggle in this way by voluntarily strugglingand working. However, there’s more weight to be added to your burden. Weight in which you have no choice but to either pick it up and continue striding forwards, or allow it to topple you. Weights in which you can only control your reaction to it rather than instigating it. Grief is a prime example. You cannot control the catastrophes that knocks you off of your feet. All you can do is react with heroism, get back up and carry the burden.
