Life is Difficult because.......

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 poses an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.

Decent way to Live

Delaying gratification is a process of scheduling the pain and pleasure of life in such a way as to enhance the pleasure by meeting and experiencing the pain first and getting it over with. It is the only decent way to live.

The Road less Traveled - M. Scott Peck. M.D.

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. ---- M. Scott Peck, MD.

Whatever harm an enemy may do to an enemy, or a hater to a hater, an ill-directed mind inflicts on oneself greater harm.

There is evil like hatred, And no fortitude like patience. --Santideva

In a year in which I re-discovered "The Law of Attraction" (now popularly called "The Secret") I give thanks for yet another year as a Spiritual BEING having a HUMAN Experience.

When your entire would seems upside down you can either attempt to put right again or stand on your head. Hard choice isn't it? Especially if you don't know which side of your world was up before it went upside down.

All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particles of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. The mind is the matrix of all matter.
- Max Planck

When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

Native Indian Prayer of Life

Lord Thanks You . . .

For my Heart which loves the

uniqueness of each living thing,

For my Mind which recognizes

the beauty of each living thing

And for my Soul which knows

that the way all living things

are the same is far more important

than the ways we are different.
