U see, we know quite well, deep within us, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving... Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else. If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment. But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. It's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for. We do discover meaning in life in three different ways: (1) by doing a deed; (2) by experiencing a value; and (3) by suffering. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
