| Recognize real suffering vs perceived suffering; let your suffering fuel your motivation for change
In Family Precepts Part 18, Grandmaster JinBodhi explained the four types of suffering that are found within the “Eight Winds”. Grandmaster talked about the real and perceived sufferings that we encounter in our lives. The suffering that we go through inspires creativity, it is fuel for the motivation that is needed to achieve our dreams and it is what we need to create fulfilling lives for ourselves.
The aphorisms from this episode include:
1. While you are indulging in the enjoyments of life, resources are being consumed.
2. Hardships stimulate creativity, stress generates motivation.
3. A lifetime of brilliance can only be achieved by someone who never gives up and who has unfaltering motivation.
4. Success that has never been put through the flames of suffering is less likely to last.
5. How can one appreciate the prosperity if he/she has never suffered hardships?
6. Let your suffering fuels your motivation to advance. Treat the suffering as a teacher, let it be a reminder of what you have gone through.
