Man: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer? Jesus: Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don’t suffer. With that experience their life become better not bitter. Man: You mean to say such experience is useful? Jesus: Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards. Man: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can’t we be free from problems? Jesus: Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons (to) Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems. Man: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don’t know where we are heading. Jesus: If you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight. Man: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do? Jesus: Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock. Man: In tough times, how do you stay motivated? Jesus: Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing. Man: What surprises you about people? Jesus: When they suffer they ask, “why me? When they prosper, they never ask “Why me” Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth. Man: Sometimes I ask, who I am, why am I here. I can’t get the answer. Jesus: Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation. Man: How can I get the best out of life? Jesus: Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Man: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered. Jesus: There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO. Man: Thank you for this wonderful chat. I am so happy to start the day with a new sense of inspiration. Jesus: Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don’t believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live. Man: Thank you so much. Jesus: You are always welcome. Have a good day my friend.
