More From Rafael Nadal

Do you want a sign that you're asleep? here it is: you're suffering. suffering is a sign that you're out of touch with the truth. suffering is given to you that you might open your eyes to the truth, that you might understand that there's falsehood somewhere, just as physical pain is given to you so you will understand that there is disease or illness somewhere. suffering occurs when you clash with reality. when your illusions clash with reality, when your falsehoods clash with truth, then you have suffering. otherwise there is no suffering.
Inspirational Pain Eye
Do we need to make a special effort to enjoy the beauty of the blue sky? do we have to practice to be able to enjoy it? no, we just enjoy it. each second, each minute of our lives can be like this. wherever we are, any time, we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine, the presence of each other, even the sensation of our breathing. we don't need to go to china to enjoy the blue sky. we don't have to travel into the future to enjoy our breathing. we can be in touch with these things right now.

Do not avoid contact with suffering or close your eyes before suffering. do not lose awareness of the existence of suffering in the life of the world. find ways to be with those who are suffering by all means, including personal contact and visits, images, sounds. by such means, awaken yourself and others to the reality of suffering in the world.

The discipline of suffering, of great suffering- do you not know that only this discipline has created all enhancements of man so far? that tension of the soul in unhappiness which cultivates its strength, its shudders face to face with great ruin, its inventiveness and courage in enduring, preserving, interpreting, and exploiting suffering, and whatever has been granted to it of profundity, secret, mask, spirit, cunning, greatness- was it not granted to it through suffering, through the discipline of great suffering?

Sometimes, when we're terrified of embracing our true calling, we'll pursue a shadow calling instead. that shadow career is a metaphor for our real career. its shape is similar, its contours feel tantalizingly the same. but a shadow career entails no real risk. if we fail at a shadow career, the consequences are meaningless to us. are you pursuing a shadow career?

I learned to live many years ago. something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if i had my druthers, it would never have been changed at all. what i learned from it is that today seems to be the hardest lesson of all. i learned to love the journey, not the destination. i learned that it is not a dress rehearsal, and that today is the only guarantee you get. i learned to look at all the good in the world and to try to give some of it back because i believed in it completely and utterly.

People have to look to the right places for guidance. looking at a certain type of entertainment shouldn't be where you go for guidance. to zone out, have a laugh, sure - but it's not a great example on how to navigate on a journey. there are other places to look.
