From Rav Elya Lopian, an amazing vort.
It says in Avos, Kach Hi Darka Shel Torah, etc, Chayei Tzar Tichye.
A life of pain you live.
And then it says Im Ata Oseh Kein, Ashrecha Baolam Hazeh, etc.
If you do it, you'll have an amazing life in this world.
Asks Rav Elya, how is it possible for a person to have a chayei tzar, AND an ashrecha baolam hazeh?
And he also asks, if this is the derech hatorah, presumably it is something everyone must do. Why does it say IM ata oseh kein, it should say KISHEATA oseh kein?
He answers, one who doesn't understand that difficulty isn't a contradiction to enjoyment of life is NOT doing it. If he was, IM ATA OSEH KEIN, he would understand the ASHRECHA.
Rabosai, if you are wondering whether or not to take the plunge, to clean house and commit, to give up your triggers, like I was doing, like many others on the forum did until they finally hit bottom, because you are worried- life will be painful, life will be hard...
I'm telling you, life is WONDERFUL. AMAZING. REAL. Yeah, it may be tough at times, but it's the good life. Take the plunge. Start enjoying life- real enjoyment.

Hatzlacha, all!
