Why choose to do hard things? Why wake up early and come get your backside kicked by a tough workout? My perspective on this question has changed over the last few years. I learned of a term called CHOSEN SUFFERING from a wrestling coach that I admire. We will all face challenges in our lives, maybe even traumatic challenges. By choosing to do tough things, we are training ourselves to handle the defining moments in our lives when suffering is not chosen.COT:
