I also have a healthy self esteem and I cannot recall having a feeling of worthlessness. Life struggles have always been an issue for me, why struggle, why should life be so difficult? After all I know I am a wonderful person so I deserve more. I know that there is a lot more to get from life and for many years I have asked myself why me, why has this happened to me? Should I sit back and keep on smiling while life dishes out so much. I want life to be easy and why not. I like your articles, they flow so well and I know what you say is true. For me something is missing and I believe in the power of the subconscious mind. The power to program myself for goodness and success. After all I want life to be easy and wonderful, why not.

I think the 'why do we suffer' question always seems to pop up. My take on it is that we subconsciously resist life - the car breaking down, the lay off from work, the lack of money and so on - and then we automatically assign a negative value to these things. As long as we do this, I heard someone once call it the game of black and white, we automatically suffer. The trick is to be aware that we are doing it. Once we become aware it is impossible to keep doing something that is no longer resourceful. I agree with you when you say that we must use this suffering to build character and to teach us valuable lessons. Hi Nea,

I couldn't agree more that sometimes the best lessons and opportunities for real growth come as a result of challenges and issues that we encounter. When you do have a great perspective like this, in many instances although you may want to just make it through the challenge, you can appreciate the fact that is a part of your life and know for certain that it will allow you to grow and learn. Thanks again for sharing all these great insights. Nea: I really enjoyed this post and thought you made so many great points.

We must be on the same wave link. :) What is a mistake? People have expressed that we learn from our mistakes, and I can clearly see the wisdom in this idea. Many have concluded that without mistakes, we cannot learn the lessons that life has to offer. I am grateful for the so-called mistakes I have made throughout my lifetime. The wonderful thing about living is that we have an opportunity to learn from the error of our ways. http://gg.thisshouldhelp.net/?p=2258 - "Mistakes or Happy Little Accidents" Hello Nea,

You are such an amazing person, Robin, and I'm sure it is in large part because of circumstances that you've come through. You make this world a better place. Thanks for being you.
