Suffering is optional

Larry Janesky: Think Daily

“Nature does not worry, yet everything is accomplished.” – Lao Tzu

Got problems and difficulties?  You are alive and in business – of course you do.  Did you think it would be different?  And the bigger the thing you are trying to accomplish, the bigger your problems.

But you have a choice – to suffer or not to suffer.

I will be in a 40 hour non-stop 900-mile off-road race on Nov 20-21, that, win or lose, will not end well for me.  I will prepare the best I can, stay present, take one moment at a time and do my best.  I will practice not suffering, even if it hurts.

Negative self-talk, worry, negative anticipation, complaining, and whining….

What is happening in your life that you are making worse by suffering?

Victoria Ostapenko

Good luck!
