“The way to heaven is ascending; we must be content to travel uphill, though it be hard and tiresome, and contrary to the natural bias of our flesh.”
— Jonathan Edwards

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, achieving good things in life means working hard and pushing through tough times. It’s like wanting to reach the top of a hill; you have to walk uphill, which can be tough and make you tired. Imagine a student aiming to get excellent grades. They might need to study a lot, even when they’d rather be playing or relaxing. Just like climbing up a steep path to reach a beautiful view, they must keep going despite the hard work. This teaches us that to reach our goals and find real happiness, we need to accept challenges and not give up, even when it feels difficult.
