Paradise Makes No Demands

Every day people do tough things.

This project celebrates the challenge, and reminds us that difficult, demanding things can not only teach us the most, but they give us as much --or more-- than they take away.

Here, you’ll find stories about people who faced a treacherous road and chose to take it. This isn’t only about climbing Mt. Everest, or starting a revolution. It’s about taking night school while working full time, about moving to a new city alone, about becoming a new parent, about burying a loved one.

These things are tough, and yet, we do them all the time.

We’ll share his, her, their, my, your stories here, to remind us that, without fail, we become stronger because of the tough things we do.
