The times when you are suffering can be those when you are open, and where you are extremely vulnerable can be where your greatest strength really lies.

Say to yourself: “I am not going to run away from this suffering. I want to use it in the best and richest way I can, so that I can become more compassionate and more helpful to others.” Suffering, after all, can teach us about compassion. If you suffer, you will know how it is when others suffer. And if you are in a position to help others, it is through your suffering that you will find the understanding and compassion to do so.

Rise and Shine

Courage

Courage is the power to face your difficulties.
It comes from the reserves of your mind that are more powerful
then any of your outside circumstances.

When you recognize that you are bigger than your problems,
you gain the courage necessary to overcome anything.

Your obstacles will look large or small to you according to
whether you are large or small.

Courage is the capacity to confront what can be imagined.
It gives you the ability to rise above reality.

You are more important than any of your problems.
