One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful. - By far favourite part of the post. If you can settle into the struggle and enjoy it and look it head on you find that the perceived pain can be good as you mentioned 'Although if your vision and actions are aligned, you will hopefully recognize that this is good pain and view the struggle you're going through as something temporary.'

Have found for me personally I look to reframe it and change my perception on what the action or task is that I am 'struggling' through or have fear or resistance too.
