Tears of the Soul |
 In the process of acting upon the choices you’ve made,everyone goes through times of hardship and suffering. Those are the times when you’re tempted to give up. When adversity comes your way, do not avoid it. If you do, you’ll only fall on your knees in the end. When you face it directly instead of turning away, you can grow through the hardship. Adversity presents another opportunity. If you have a deep wound in your heart, that wound, at the same time, also has the potential to be transformed into a source of immense energy. In the process of overcoming hardship, if you find that tears are necessary, let them fall. There are also tears that are shed as your soul looks upon you. Do you know those tears? They are tears of encouragement that fall as you comfort yourself with a hand on your shoulder. Your soul derives greater strength from the comfort you give yourself, more than the comfort you receive from anyone else.  Ilchi Lee |
