Struggles Create A Motivating Tension

Facing life's struggles often create pain and lack, but it also adds a motivating tension in your life that gives structure and direction for the things you do.

Once the major struggles in your life are gone, the motivating tension diminishes too. The result is that you desire to regain that energizing force. One strategy people use to regain this tension is self-destruction. They break the thing they worked hard to build.
