Suffering

The law is simple. Every experience is repeated or suffered till you experience it properly and fully the first time.
The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.
Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.
A feeling of aversion or attachment toward something is your clue that there's work to be done.
Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter.
Suffering is a gift. In it is hidden mercy.
Be empty of worrying. Think of who created thought! Why do you stay in prison When the door is so wide open?
The wound is the place where the Light enters you.
We need enlightenment, not just individually but collectively, to save the planet.
The acceptance of suffering is a journey into death. Facing deep pain, allowing it to be, taking your attention into it, is to enter death consciously.
When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending.
People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.
Pain is inevitable, yet suffering is optional. It is our heart connections that make all the difference.
Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally.
