Isn't life difficult? And isn't it beautiful?
Messy and Miraculous I call it often.
Here are how teachers, mentors and sages view it too.

"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
"You know quite well,
deep within you,
that there is only,
a single magic,
a single power,
a single salvation...
Well then,
Love your suffering.
Do not resist it, do not flee from it
It is only your aversion that hurts,
nothing else."
~ Herman Hesse ~
"Making the simple complicated is commonplace;
making the complicated simple,
awesomely simple, that's creativity."
~ Charles Mingus ~
"Manifest plainness,
Embrace simplicity,
Reduce selfishness,
Have few desires."
~ Lao-Tzu, Tao Te Ching ~
"People say "I want peace." If you remove I (ego), and your
want (desire), you are left with peace."
~ Satya Sai Baba ~
"Live simply, so others may simply live."
~ Gandhi ~
Life may be difficult but it is also simply beautiful, like the movie and so much more...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."

My dear friend,
It is perfectly well said by Satya Sai Baba:
“People say “I want peace.” If you remove I (ego), and your want (desire), you are left with peace.
Thanks for sharing these with all of us. You really bring joy, but also wisdom ~
