“It is through solving problems correctly that we grow spiritually. We are never given a burden unless we have the capacity to overcome it. If a great problem is set before you, this merely indicates that you have the great inner strength to solve a great problem. There is never really anything to be discouraged about, because difficulties are opportunities for inner growth, and the greater the difficulty the greater the opportunity for growth.” IfsProblemSpiritualOpportunityGivenGrowsGrowthGreaterCapacityOvercomingDifficultyBurdenSolveInner StrengthProblem SolvingDiscouragedInner Growth Book:Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words Source: Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words
