Blake Robert Templeton argues that comfort makes you soft, while hardship forges character like gold. He cites Hebrews 12:11 on discipline and righteous peace, urging you to seek difficult experiences instead of settling into ease.
There is something about doing hard things. Like, most men, they lose their edge, I believe, when they stop doing the things that are hard on purpose. Like, comfort, comfort makes a man soft. And there's always a place for going on a vacation and having like luxury and fun and comfort, but you gotta get your hands dirty. You gotta get into the trenches and do hard things. And that's what forges a man. Like the forge is in the fire, and refined as gold. Hebrews 12:11 says, all discipline yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness. We've got to do the hard things.
