Are you trying to avoid suffering?

How is that going for you?

I am sure you understand that life is made up of ups and downs, good times and challenges. I say that because without the tough times the good times would not feel as good.

I was told once that the only time we learn is in the times of our life when we suffered or were challenged. I agree with this because of my conversations with all the ordinary people I’ve interviewed who have overcome massive challenges and have made life a joy. When I speak of joy it is not this ‘bubbly’ life that looks phony. It is a life where they are smiling because of what they’ve overcome and having the knowledge of their inner strength.

Isn’t that the type of life you want?
