Living outside the default path is harder than following it, but the speaker argues it's worth the effort because it lets you help others more meaningfully. The discomfort of choosing your own way beats the hollow ease of just going along.
I wouldn't correlate a life beyond the default as a life of ease. I gotta be careful with this because if you are living a life that feels just really easy, by the way, you might be in the default. I honestly believe that living a life beyond the default may be a little bit more difficult because you're revving your engine, your brain up more, you are putting more output as far as life is lifing and you're working. But what I will also say is what's funny when I think about this, the beyond your default is life is lifing, but you're helping other people when their life is lifing.
