All of the gamers out there know what we're talking about.
It's like life testing you to make sure you're ready—and 9 times out of 10 you are. You've gained the skills you need to overcome hard things, and in the next level you will tackle even bigger beasts and explore new things. In this new level, you will grow, and what is now daunting you'll someday look back on and think it was easy.
Life is essentially like a video game. You move onto new levels, and you keep gaining the skills you need to tackle even harder obstacles. You never give up in your video games, and you shouldn't in life, either. You can do hard things!
