Life is not about the struggles but the lessons learned from the struggles. Those who have easy lives based on personal enjoyment, don't learn very much, they tend to be superficial ill equipped for anything of value.
We often say "no pain, no gain" in reference to physical prowess, but neglect to recognize the "no pain, no gain" in spiritual lessons of life.
James 1:2-8
"2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
6 But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.
7 For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord,
8 being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways"
