There are few things more valuable than experiencing what it’s like to live with someone different from you. If someone isn’t what you expect, then shift your expectations. (The Naked Roommate Calendar)
A few wise words from Nietzsche on Hardship:
– If you are seeking happiness, welcome suffering
– To those human beings who are of any concern to me, I wish suffering, desolation, sickness, ill treatment, indignity, profound self contempt, the torture of self mistrust, and the wretchedness of the vanquished
– To reach anything that is worthwhile you must go through effort
– Difficulty is normal, we should not panic or give up when we experience it. We feel pain because of the gap of who we are at the moment and the person we could ideally be. Its because we cant master the ingredients of happiness straight away that we suffer as much as we do
– Learn to respond to suffering, use it to create something beautiful
– Failure is not spoken of in our culture but success is
– How would you be able to judge your success if you haven’t failed?
– All lives have failure in them but what makes some lives successful is the manner in which failure was met with
– In order to get happiness from life, you must live dangerously
– Happiness does not come from escaping trouble, it comes from cultivating them and turning them into your advantage
– Don’t pretend to want the things that were difficult to get
– Accept the things you don’t have, do not deny your wish, do not deny your pain
– Not everything which makes us suffer is necessarily bad for us, not everything which makes us feel good is necessarily good for us
– To regard extremes of suffering as an evil, as something to be abolished, is a supreme idiocy
