“Hardship, in forcing us to exercise greater patience and forbearance in daily life, actually makes us stronger and more robust.\u00a0 From the daily experience of hardship comes a greater capacity to accept difficulties without losing our sense of inner calm.\u00a0 Of course, I do not advocate seeking out hardship as a way of life, but merely wish to suggest that, if you relate to it constructively, it can bring greater inner strength and fortitude.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Dalai Lama<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Life brings pain and discomfort and no one can escape it.<\/span>
\n By not resisting it you can transcend it.<\/span>
\n You can turn your disadvantages into advantages.<\/span><\/p>\n

The key is not necessarily doing something different, but being different.<\/span>
\n Allow life to be the way it is, do not resist it or try to change it.<\/span>
\n Use the situation to empower yourself and to take your best action at the most appropriate time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Find ways to discover advantages in your disadvantages.<\/span>
\n There are opportunities within every problem.
\nTurn frustration into fascination.<\/span><\/p>\n

Complaining does not help, it wastes your vital energy and resources and attracts more negativity.<\/span>
\n Just let go and allow what is to be the way it is.<\/span>
\n Observe without judgment and discover what is happening and what is best for you and others now.<\/span>
\n Then take the appropriate action.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can grow, transform and be successful from exactly where you are now.<\/span>
\n You can use whatever challenges you have as opportunities for growth and development.<\/span>
\n The greater the challenge, the greater the potential success or triumph!<\/span><\/p>\n

This moment is your point of greatest power.
\nWhat is happening must happen so make the best out of it.
\nWorst case, turn lemons into lemonade.<\/span><\/p>\n
