When Traumatic Events Happen

“Life is difficult,” writes best-selling author M. Scott Peck, M.D. In The Road Less Traveled, he asserts that by embracing the difficulties, life becomes easier.3 After seeking to avoid pain by choosing as much pleasure as we can, many of us discover that life has lost its meaning. We feel empty inside. Dr. Peck advises that embracing the difficulties and suffering of life is not an exercise in choosing between pleasure and pain, but a choice between meaningless suffering and meaningful suffering. When we let go of those activities that are meaningless to us and choose to participate in enterprises that have heart and meaning for us, our lives suddenly take on a purpose we did not feel before.

For Strength

The soul’s longings are like seeds,

Out of which deeds of will are growing

And life’s fruits are ripening

I can feel my destiny and my destiny finds me.

I can feel my star and my star finds me.

I can feel my aims and my aims are finding me.

The World and my soul are one great unity.

Life grows brighter around me

Life becomes harder for me

Life will be richer within me.4

—Rudolf Steiner
