This is the best time to be alive.
Things are dark. There’s a lot of terrible stuff creeping over the face of the earth. It’s an opportunity to level up!
You don’t grow when it’s easy.
Yes, it’s tiring and daunting to look into the bleakness and think about the trials and effort ahead. It’s easy to get beat down by it. But if you zoom out, the chance to step up and be the best, most heroic version of yourself doesn’t come often in such a big way. When it does, be thankful for it, buckle up, and go forth.
