Difficulties arise in ignorance and weakness, and they call for the attainment of knowledge and the acquisition of strength. When the right understanding is acquired difficulties fades away. As understanding is acquired by right liking, difficulties become fewer and perish completely with time.

Your difficulty is not contained, primarily, in the situation which gave ..... to it, but in mental state with which you regard that situation and which you bring to bear upon it. know that whatever is difficult to a child present no difficulty to the matured mind of the man; and that which to the mind of an unintelligent man is surrounded with perplexity would afford no ground for perplexity to an intelligent man.

To the undeveloped and untutored mind of the child how great, and apparently unconquerable, appear the difficulties which are involved in the learning of some simple lesson. Now many anxious and laborious hours and days, or even months, it's solution cost; and frequently, how many tears are shed in hopeless contemplation of the unmastered, and apparently, unconquerable, wall of difficulty! Yet the difficulty is in the ignorance of the child only, and its conquest and solution is completely important for the development of intelligence and for the ultimate welfare, happiness and usefulness of the child.

Without difficulties there could be no next level, no progress, no promotion, no unfoldment and no evolution. If there is no difficulties universal stagnation would dominate and humanity would perish of ennui.

Let a man rejoice when he is confronted with challenges, for it means that he has come to the end of some particular line of indifference or folly, and is now called upon to put all his energy and intelligence to work in order to extricate himself, and to find a better way; that there powers within him are crying out for greater freedom, for enlarged exercise and scope.

No situation can be difficult of itself, it is the lack of understanding into its intricacies and the want of wisdom in dealing with it, which give rise to the difficulty.

What to do when confronted with difficulty
