Life is difficult. It comprises of a series of problems.
This is one of the greatest truths of life. Surprisingly, many do not know. And that we must acknowledge.

But when we believe and accept that life is difficult itself then it will no longer be difficult. Because, its difficulties will no longer matter. This enables us to prepare our minds against these difficulties. Thereby it grants us the enablement to transcend them.
