Difficulties

Accepting the alternations of day and night, joy and sorrow

November 22nd 2026
To avoid being swallowed up by despair, you need to know from the outset that no matter what you do, you are certain to meet with difficulties. Those who start out full of illusions are knocked off balance and crumple at the first sign of difficulty. Yes, we must never forget that in life we are always obliged to go through difficult periods, even very difficult ones.
That is how it is on earth, we are necessarily subject to alternations: day and night, heat and cold, joy and sorrow, spring and winter. We must accept it and learn to work with these conditions. For make no mistake, once you have triumphed over one set of trials, others will follow. But by drawing on your previous experiences, you will be able to triumph each and every time.
