Sorrow and discouragement

Recall your happy memories

May 26th 2025
Every human being, even the least fortunate, even the most destitute, has known a few moments of happiness in life that they can recall as a means to counteract painful thoughts and feelings. Why brood endlessly on disappointments and sorrows? Because of ignorance, always ignorance! Observe yourself, and you will see that you do not make much of an effort to recapture your happy memories. But how ready you are to remember times of grief and distress! Why? What is the point? It is high time you learned, instead, to work with positive elements.
You have extraordinary possibilities within you, but you do not know about them, and this ignorance prevents you from understanding, making progress and creating. The moment you sense that you are in danger of being submerged by sorrow or discouragement, remember that you have the means to remedy the situation, and make up your minds to do something about it.*
