Willing to put the effort in
The hard way forces you to ask if you are willing to put in the effort to do it.

The first step to self-improvement
Answering with yes to these questions is the first step to self-improvement:
- Do you want to do better?
- Are you willing to feel the discomfort of putting in more effort and trying new things that will feel weird and different and won’t work right away?
Pay the Costs
Recognize that everything you do has a cost decide if you're willing to pay it. Freebies and shortcuts do not work in the long run.
Ask yourself not what you want, but what you're willing to suffer for.
