Life Is Hard… The First Step Is Admitting It, the Second Step Is Dealing With It
It’s perfectly alright to admit that life is hard. There is a difference, however, between acknowledging something, and using that something as an excuse.
It is alright to acknowledge that life is difficult at times: that’s a statement of fact. It’s okay to say that, as long as you then begin thinking about and acting out your plan of attack to make it through the battle. It’s not okay to use “life is hard” as an excuse, it’s not okay to use it as a crutch to lean on.

Life is hard. And it’s okay to say it.
The first step is admitting it; the second step is dealing with it.
~
Acknowledge your situation and the obstacles that lay before you. But don’t use them as excuses. Don’t feel sorry for yourself, don’t blame your circumstances or other people for your situation, and don’t get discouraged. It’s not okay to use it as an excuse not to give your all.
Life is a battle. True statement. Now what are you going to do about it? Are you going to shy away from life, or are you going to prepare for the struggle and show up ready to do battle? Are you going to shrink away from who you could be, or are you going to give this life every single thing that you’ve got?
