"life is difficult. this is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. it is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. once we truly know that life is difficult--once we truly understand and accept it--then life is no longer difficult. because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters."
- m. scott peck, the road less traveled
WORD. on one hand, it's hard to accept the fact that life is difficult. sometimes, i'm just like, wow this really sucks right now. on the other hand, i love it. i love coming out on the other end of a difficult situation with more peace, appreciation and understanding than i had before.
i love contemplating the complexity of life. there is so much to learn. i love having difficult conversations--between me and God, or between me and my family and friends. difficulty draws me so much closer to God and to the people in my life. then, somehow, "difficulty" doesn't seem so bad. it's actually kinda cool.
"i have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. in this world you will have trouble. but take heart! i have overcome the world."
- Jesus Christ, the gospel of john (16)
staight up!
