Difficulties - prepare oneself to confront them by intensifying the life in oneself

10/01/2004

In order to feel all the wealth and beauty of life, you must seek the divine presence everywhere. Each day will then bring you new discoveries and, above all, you will become stronger. There is no more effective way to face difficulties than to deepen and intensify the life in yourself. And yet, what do human beings do? They spend their time running to the periphery of life in search of what they call success, achievement and happiness, and happiness for them is often synonymous with comforts. But these comforts can be challenged at any moment by events, and then they collapse. You must find the stability within that nothing can touch. Then, even if you are suffering, even if you lose everything, you sense something unshakeable within you, something that withstands all tribulations.
