Forcing Life will only make things harder for you.. Life is only difficult if you force it If we try to control everything and force things to happen in a certain way, we are more likely to encounter difficulties and struggles.

Forcing something that is not meant for us might be easy at first, but as time goes by, this will create tension and soon this tension will pile up and will damage us.
What are the things that we force in our lives?
Lifestyle

The most common thing that most people force in their life is their lifestyle. Many people are living a life that is not suitable for their finances, such as
living in a place that is too expensive for them to afford
buying an expensive car
purchasing expensive new gadgets even if their old ones are still working
buying luxury clothing to impress other people and wearing it only a couple of times
going on vacations constantly.
Soon, these types of people will need to sell their stuff just to make ends meet. I have seen a lot of people do this, and when they are already in debt, they call a friend to borrow money.
They don't care about the problems it will bring in the future as long as they are seen as fabulous and glamorous. In the end, this will bring significant problems to their lives.
The best thing to do is to live within your means, and only spend on what you can afford without breaking the bank.
Forcing Success
Many people want to be rich in a snap, they are the ones who believe the advice of influencers who are talking about the easy way to wealth. Believing everything online without analyzing it first is a careless move. Everything takes time to happen, what these influencers are not telling you are their losses, failures, and how really hard it is to make wealth. If you've studied and made solid plans about your investment, trust the process, it might take years to see the results but at least you know you are progressing rather than forcing it to be a gold mine overnight and just getting disappointed.
Forcing Love and Relationship

You can't manipulate someone into loving you. Using fame, wealth, and power to try to obtain love will only lead to heartache in the future. Pestering someone until they feel forced to be in a relationship with you is also not a good idea.
Love doesn't work that way. It should come naturally, without outside influence, except for the love itself. We receive love by giving love, not by manipulating someone to love us back.
Attempting to force love will likely result in heartbreak and turmoil. Most forced relationships don't end well and often lead to a lot of stress and depression.
Short-term gains achieved through forceful means can lead to long-term consequences that are difficult to overcome. Don't try to manipulate things in your life, let life take its course.
This doesn't mean that you shouldn't take action to achieve your goals. What I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't force it and that you should trust the process. Eventually, you will realize that life is easier if you don't try to force things.
