As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct."
Life is difficult.
This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great
truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it.
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.
Most of US do not fully see this truth that life is difficult. Instead
We moan more or less incessantly, noisily or subtly, about
the enormity of our problems, our burdens, and our difficulties
as if life was generally easy, as if life should be
easy. We voice our belief, noisily or subtly, that our
difficulties represent a unique kind of affliction that should
not be and that has somehow been especially visited upon
us, and not upon others.
We all know about this moaning because We all have done our share.
Life is a series of problems. Do we want to moan about
them or solve them?
What makes life difficult is that the process of confronting
and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending
upon their nature, evoke in us frustration or grief or sadness
or loneliness or guilt or regret or anger or fear or anxiety or
anguish or despair. These are uncomfortable feelings, often
very uncomfortable, often as painful as any kind of physical
pain, sometimes equaling the very worst kind of physical
pain. Indeed, it is because of the pain that events or
conflicts engender in us all that we call them problems. And
since life poses an endless series of problems, life is always
difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.
As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that
hurt, instruct." It is for this reason that wise people learn not
to dread but actually to welcome problems and actually to
welcome the pain of problems.
let us teach ourselves the necessity for suffering and the value
thereof, the need to face problems directly and to
experience the pain involved.
People and circumstances will occasionally break us down. But if we keep our mind focused, our heart open to possibility, and continue to put one foot in front of the other, we will be able to quickly recover the pieces, rebuild, and come back much stronger than We ever would have been otherwise.
You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.- Mae West
