Send the following Big Idea to a friend:
"Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional."
~ H.H. The Dalai Lama
Think about that for a second longer...
"Pain is inevitable." We’re going to experience things that are tough and that "hurt." It’s inevitable.
But, do we need to suffer?
That part’s optional.
It's all up to us...

"The Work is merely four questions; it’s not even a thing. It has no motive, no strings. It’s nothing without your answers. These four questions will join any program you’ve got ad enhance it. Any religion you have—they’ll enhance it. If you have no religion, they will bring you joy. And they’ll burn up anything that isn’t true for you. They’ll burn through to the reality that has always been waiting." ~ Byron Katie
