• It is through solving problems correctly that we grow spiritually. We are never given a burden unless we have the capacity to overcome it. If a great problem is set before you, this merely indicates that you have the great inner strength to solve a great problem. There is never really anything to be discouraged about, because difficulties are opportunities for inner growth, and the greater the difficulty the greater the opportunity for growth.

• A workable and effective way to meet and overcome difficulties is to take on someone else's problems.

That truth is based on a subtle law of self-giving or outgoingness whereby you develop a self-strengthening in the process.
