problems, troubles, suffering

As long as we live in this world we are bound to encounter problems. If, at such
times, we lose hope and become discouraged, we diminish our ability to face
difficulties. If, on the other hand, we remember that it is not just ourselves
but every one who has to undergo suffering, this more realistic perspective will
increase our determination and capacity to overcome troubles. Indeed, with this
attitude, each new obstacle can be seen as yet another valuable opportunity to
improve our mind. ~ Dalai Lama
