Life - win its support

06/22/2010

Some people's habitual reactions and behaviour would lead you to believe they experienced life as a hostile deity looking for ways to destroy them. Life is indeed the greatest power that exists, but it has no wish to destroy human beings. The difficulties and obstacles placed on their path are meant to strengthen them, not destroy them, and it is up to them to win the support of the life force by learning to work with it. Why is it that what is painful and hurtful for some is neither painful nor hurtful for others? It's just like school, when some pupils finish an exercise easily in a few minutes and receive a high mark, while others struggle and receive a very poor mark. Every day, life presents each of us with problems to solve, and we must try to solve them by seeking the solutions within ourselves. As for those who merely sidestep problems or run away from them, life will catch up with them later on, and they will find it more and more difficult to confront difficulties, for they won't have learned the lesson for that day - just like school again, when a careless, lazy pupil isn't able to catch up. Learn to see trials as exercises that need to be done, problems that need to be solved: the strength, faith and love you will feel growing in you with each success are the diplomas life itself will award you.
