Re: patience is a virtue? Truth is alignment

Believe it or not, it is only a quite recent discovery. Whenever some problems occurred I used to get double anxious because I thought that if there was some problem, that meant I was doing wrong, that it was a way life let me know she wasn't approving of me. I really freaked out a lot for this, I got so discouraged and of course I found many reasons why life shouldn't be happy of me, but what to do? how to change all that? all that guilt was too much...
Now I've realized with certainty that problems are like the guardians of the gates, or using another metaphor, they are tests to see if you can pass to another level. So somehow they come to you because you're brave and noble, like the tests that in every fairy tale are assigned to the most beautiful knights in order to conquer the heart of the princess.
I think that when we are doing wrong we get stuck into repetition, when a problem arises it means we are moving and it's a good sign.
