The Philosophy of Difficult | The Inspiration Initiative

-


MAYBE difficult is not so bad. Maybe easy is not so desirable. Easy makes you soft, complacent, vulnerable. Difficult makes you strong, decisive, capable.

Easy puts you in danger of being arrogant, disrespectful, and bored. Difficult fills you with a wealth of gratitude that connects you to life's richest abundance.

The more you must work for something, the more you must invest yourself, the more value it has. A difficult journey makes the destination all the more appealing.

Wouldn't it be nice to stop worrying whether the day, the job, the encounter will be difficult? Wouldn't it be great to just stride right up to the moment and meet it with confidence and joy?

Look back at what you have learnt from your life and you'll realise this is what you have learnt: what is difficult is nothing to fear.

Occasional effort can create illusion of success. Consistent effort is what brings lasting success, achievement, fulfillment.

Are you working out once or twice every couple of weeks, or every day? Are you writing a chapter just when you feel like it, or every morning before breakfast?

Your life is too precious to merely dabble. In work, in play, health, wisdom, and relationships, you deserve the luscious fruits that consistent effort will bring.

Introduction Jainism and Hinduism, two of the oldest world religions embraced by mass of the same land, existing in parallel, in peace, since time immemorial. During their theological evaluation it's only natural to find cross section, similarity, correlation and also difference, rejection, and juxtaposition between the two philosophical ideologies. After all, they have literally survived millenniums, successfully, together and yet maintained their distinct identities and uniqueness. What Is The Theory Of Karma? One of the pivotal doctrines in both Hinduism and Jainism, which supports most of their metaphysical, cosmological, and philosophical ideas is the theory of karma.
