Why do some have it easier than others?

I ask myself this question; knowing intuitively that it only appears that way. Everyone goes through stuff and I know that obstacles are created so we can overcome them. The power of the mind is amazing and the discomfort we feel is just our reaction to the changes that we go through. If we learned to "go with the flow" more often, we wouldn't re-act so much and things definetely get easier. "When push comes to shove, we find what we're made of". Things happen so we can grow by getting out of comfort zone. The trouble is that it can be "nice and warm" in that nice little box! The faster you come out of it, the better you feel about yourself. The better you feel about yourself, life starts to change for the better. I have to remember to stop trying to make things happen and just trust that if I continue to make choices and decisions towards where I want to go, then it absolutely "must" happen. It may not happen in the time frame that I want, but it absolutely will happen.
