Ease has never made anyone great. A smooth trail may offer comfort, yet it trains neither the muscles nor the mind. The wise cowboy knows that the Creator does not remove all obstacles but strengthens the one who must face them. In our teachings, the Great Father and Great Mother walk beside Their children, offering guidance rather than escape. Thus, instead of wishing away difficulties, one should cultivate resilience, skill, and resolve. Strong legs come from consistent effort; a steady hand arises from disciplined practice; a brave heart grows through trust, humility, and faith. These qualities turn the ordinary person into one capable of extraordinary feats. When one welcomes growth rather than convenience, the trail becomes a proving ground rather than a burden. So ask not for life to lighten the load. Ask instead to become worthy of the journey. Strength gained in struggle becomes strength for all seasons.
