    It doesn’t just get better though. It takes a personal overcoming. It takes effort and discipline, and it takes courage. It’s painful. Rarely does the universe just hand you “better” on a silver platter. This kind of passivity is dangerous.

      I don’t think this post implies passivity. The point that I at least take is that your effort isn’t in service of a meaningless struggle and it is worth it to keep going.
