“Better delayed than never!” , thank you Thalia.

"How might I change myself so that my struggles become my joy?" My daughter and I have a joke, "English such a terrible language". It's said in reference to all sorts of things that the English language muddies or mangles. Do struggles become (transform) into joy? Do struggles inherently have something negative and become (different outcome) positive (joy)? Are struggles and joy mutually exclusive?

Lately, I've been having contemplating connection. Broadly speaking, if suffering is universal - e.g. earthly struggles, need to be challenged, desire to thrive, problems in the path to achievement - then that seems to me like **the** place to connect to one another. If we all struggle against suffering or if we struggle against problems of our own making e.g. learning a new hobby, then isn't the struggle and the joy in the same place? I have no clarity on the questions. I'm struggling with it.
