The Curse of Ease: The Benefit of Struggle

Sometimes things break perfectly. So perfectly that if there is some intervention (well-meaning or not) that perfect result of brokenness becomes a tragedy.
For example: The little chick struggling to break free of the egg as it hatches. It is truly a fight for life – but if we intervene, and “help” by pulling away the shell it fights against away, and freeing it – we also kill it. That struggle to emerge from the egg is necessary in order for the chick to gain the strength it needs to thrive.
It’s important to struggle, stretch, learn, and grow. The tough expenses bring wisdom, understanding, and comprehension of greater things.
Challenges make us better. And think twice before you take any action that removes an important learning opportunity from someone else.
