Do you want to make progress? If so, then take each problem not as a challenging, but as an encouraging friend of yours, who is helping you to arrive at your ultimate destination.

Problems do not indicate man’s incapacity. Problems do not indicate man’s inadequacy. Problems do not indicate man’s insufficiency. Problems indicate man’s conscious need for self-transcendence in the inner world, and his conscious need for self-perfection in the outer world.

Each difficulty

Is a hard examination:

So says my truth-fearing mind.

Each difficulty

Is an increased strength:

So says my God-loving heart.
