More From Dan Millman

The world is like a ride in an amusement park. and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. and the ride goes up and down and round and round. it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: "is this real, or is this just a ride?" and other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." and we kill those people.

Suffering, if you're a christian, suffering is a part of life. and it's not a bad thing, it is an essential thing in life... there are all different ways to suffer. one way to suffer is through lack of food and shelter and there's another way to suffer which is lack of dignity and hope and there's all sorts of ways that people suffer and it's not just tangible, it's also intangible and we have to consider both.
Christian Things In Life People
There is really no reason to suffer. the only reason you suffer is because you choose to suffer. if you look at your life you will find many excuses to suffer, but a good reason to suffer you will not find. the same is true for happiness. the only reason you are happy is because you choose to be happy. happiness is a choice, and so is suffering.

Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.
Dream Prayer Liars
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
Pain is a relatively objective, physical phenomenon; suffering is our psychological resistance to what happens. events may create physical pain, but they do not in themselves create suffering. resistance creates suffering. stress happens when your mind resists what is... the only problem in your life is your mind's resistance to life as it unfolds.
