Two points really stood out to me:
What I question is whether we have lowered the bar much too far when it comes to what qualifies as hardship to the point that what raises our emotions to feel victimized is much lower than in the past.
Attitude matters.
The analogy about the iPhone 7 versus iPhone 10 is spot on. We need to have a attitude of appreciation and perseverance. Seems both are lacking for many people today. Thanks for sharing.
Appreciation usually comes when something is earned, and perseverance when what is earned requires work one has to improve to complete. Success is cheap these days as the feedback from irrelevant activity makes us feel like we are advancing, even though nothing needs to be learned.
Completely agree!
