It Doesn't get Easier, You Get Better at It

Just a Quote I Live By

It Doesn't get Easier, You Get Better at It
Lukus Becker

"It never gets easier, you just get better at it." This is quote that resonates with me and I remind myself of it often. It is something that applies often in life, especially when facing adversity. I think I have learned the most from this quote and it has encouraged me to not back down from opportunities that are intimidating.

One area this quote often comes up is within my running. Often it feels like I have ran enough that it should get easier and the only thing that should challenge me is faster or longer. But constantly I have days that it doesn't feel easier, that I feel like my work is for nothing. It took me awhile to realize that it wasn't getting easier, I was just getting use to working my body at that level. That it was more of my perception of running in that I knew I could run at this level

Also when looking to take part in a new position or apply for a job I am not always confident if I can do it. But I have learned through experience that you will learn to do the same tasks that you thought impossible and it will be the same task but you got better at it. So honestly I just think about the position or job after I would get use to doing tasks. This gives me an accurate idea of what I would feel completing this task or position.

So in conclusion I hope these are words of inspiration to believe that you can do it and if it seems impossible you will get better at it.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.
