Life (III)

Life is difficult.
This is a great truth, one of the
greatest truths.
Once we truly know that life is difficult - once
we truly understand and accept it - then life is no longer
difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.

Life is a series of problems. Do we want to moan about them or solve them?
Since life poses an endless series of problems,
Life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.
Problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure.
Problems call forth our courage and our wisdom; indeed,
they create our courage and our wisdom.
It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually.
