Stronger, not easier

“When does it get easier?”
“It doesn’t.”
“Wut”
“You get stronger.”
That’s the life of a founder, indie hacker. Yep.
Building, shipping products, never gets easier. Each time like a first time, even though many things look similar. They rhyme, not repeat.
And just when you feel like everything finally clicks, the market—or life—throws you a curveball.
That’s how it is.
It is what it is.
I learned to pray not for things to be easy.
Pray for the strength and smarts to overcome said things.
Accept that things never get easier.
Aim to get stronger every time.
There’s no shortcuts and silver bullets.
Only this boring unsexy truth.
