Friedrich Nietzsche said that “To live is to suffer; to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.” But why do we suffer? And how can we find meaning and peace amidst the suffering (click on the links below to take you to my relevant articles)?
We suffer because:
We wear masks
We don’t have Faith
We are stuck in ego
We fail to surrender
We hold resentments
We fail to serve others We forget that all is well
We are attached to things
We are stuck in our minds
We live from a place of fear
We are consumed by shame
We forget to practice gratitude
We don't know who we truly are
We hand over our personal power
We allow toxic people into our lives
We don’t live in the present moment
We fail to achieve balance in our lives
We judge everyone including our Selves
We don’t allow our selves time to grieve
We forget that nothing is either good or bad
We are overwhelmed by the challenges of life
We have the wrong people as mirrors in our lives
We chase what we want but don’t know what we need
We worship false Gods like money, power, and addictive substances
We suffer and it's getting worse
The key to transcending our suffering is to use it as a blessing on the lives of others. Serve with all your heart. Cling to the thought that, in God's hands, the darkness of the past is the greatest possession you have – the key to life, peace, and joy for others. With it you can avert death and misery for them. Say to your Self "No longer is my past an autobiography; it is a reference book to be taken down, opened and shared. Today as I report for duty, the most wonderful picture comes through. For, though this day be dark – as some days must be – the stars will shine even brighter later and the new dawn will be a blazing fire. My witness that the stars and the sun do shine will be called for in the very near future. All my past will this day be a part of me, because it is the key, not the lock. In God all things are possible. I am a conduit of clarity and compassion, to a higher state of consciousness."
There is a solution: Taking you from pain to peace...

We are co-creating this space. It will change your life. It will empower you. This community is a safe space for men to connect and discuss philosophy, spirituality, positive psychology, awakening to Self-realisation, wisdom and timeless Truths, to share our experience, strength and hope, and to find solutions to our pain and fears. Our meeting is free to join. There is no script, just sharing.
