Daily Inspiration – Suffering is Optional

October 8, 2008 · 2 Comments

I saw this quote from the Dalai Lama this morning and I thought it was so appropriate:

“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.”

~ The Dalai Lama

It is true that we are all going to feel pain in our lives, especially right now with the world in a tailspin. We are all going to feel the pinch, the crunch. But we all have a choice in how we react to that pain. We can let it sink into us and suffer through it. Or we can feel it, process it and rise above it. You always have a choice in how you react.
