Have you asked yourself yet WHY they might be pushing you to work harder? Maybe to see your potential? Everything used to be all cozy and happy, but now no more! Well, before you complain about this again I want to ask if you're an Eagle or a Chicken?
I know, strange question. Clearly you are human! But think about it: when eggs hatch and these birds are raising their young, two very different approaches are taken. For an eagle, it starts with how they build the nest-they've been planning this from the beginning! The nest is built to be a comfortable place on top. But at a certain age, the young birds are ready to do more. Momma Eagle does ask politely. What she does, is flip the nest. See, the plan at the beginning is to at first make that nest comfortable, but what the young ones don't know is that underneath all of that fluffy stuff are many sharp rocks and more sticks. When this nest is flipped the nest is no longer a cozy place to call home: it's somewhere those eagles want to get out of! So they learn! They learn to fly, to hunt, to be independent.
Chickens. Chickens are very different. They raise their flock, but then take them to the rest of the fowl in the coop, and soon begin to just wonder away and leave the chicks to their own devices. Little by little they push the lines of comfort to get the chicks to be independent. It sounds comfortable...and slow!
So again I ask: are you an Eagle or a Chicken? Will you deal with the rocky nest and learn and grow to your full potential even though it's probably uncomfortable? Or will you complain about the discomfort and wish you were a chicken?
