The hardest thing for any chantard Christian must be realizing how good the worldly sinful people are and how far you must be from them. Most of those people who drink and use drugs and commit degeneracy are basically kindhearted, they'd help you out of a jam, they're not quick to judge because they have high self esteem, they at least love people close to them. You have to be much better than them and you have to realize that a lot of them are pretty decent by worldly standards and better than you in many ways. Only prayer and fasting can accomplish this sort of conversion of the spirit.

you have to be able to complete schoolwork and sustain constant criticism/scrutiny from your formatter, spiritual director, Bishop, peers, etc. It's definitely not something everyone can do even if they have accomplished nothing. Once you are a priest the administrative responsibilities alone can be close to as demanding as running a small business. That being said if you have a strong calling in your heart and are actually in good faith while feeling that calling go for it.

God Bless!
