2. There comes a time when the cup of endurance runs over, and men are no longer willing to be plunged into the abyss of despair.
3. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved
4. You are so young, so much before all beginning, and I would like to beg you, dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart
5. Through it all
6. That is perhaps the most difficult task that has been entrusted to us, the ultimate task, the final test and proof, the work for which all other work is merely preparation.
7. Patience is the key to life. Rather than searching for all of the answers, one must love and live the questions of life. However, the answers will come throughout your entire journey through life, eventually, so one must not be anxious and lose discipline.
8. It's not a silly question if you can't answer it.
9. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer. Perhaps you do carry within you the possibility of creating and forming, as an especially blessed and pure way of living
10.
11. When you realize there is something you don't understand, then you're gradually on the right path to understanding all kinds of things.
12. In order for personal growth to occur, one needs to not look for answers outside, but within. It may take a while, but be patient. You will find all the answers to all your questions inside you. No one can help you, but yourself. You are your only source of help and growth. Keep searching.
13. And if this answer rings out in assent, if you meet this solemn question with a strong, simple "I must," then build your life in accordance with this necessity
14. But it comes only to those who are patient, who are there as if eternity lay before them, so unconcernedly silent and vast. I learn it every day of my life, learn it with pain I am grateful for: patience is everything.
15. After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.
16. Most experiences are unsayable, they happen in a space that no word has ever entered, and more unsayable than all other things are works of art, those mysterious existences, whose life endure beside our own small, transitory life.
17. The difficulties in life is when people receive the most benefits as a person. Our hardships in life help you grow. Taking the easy route only displays laziness and lack of passion.
18. Hardships may take you into a time of darkness and sorrow. However, you must not shut out the sicknesses and negative experiences in life. So rather than asking why, just be patient and endure. Let these phases of sickness take over and embrace them. Accept them. At first you might not realize it, but the things you learn as a result shapes you into a better you.
19. But more than that, it leads them to places they never expected to see and enables them to accomplish things that surprise them and satisfy them.
20. Instead of expressing every single emotion that comes to mind, from the vast sea of emotions you have, pick out your true feelings. Do not let all of these emotions clash. Through the process of growth, you have to also stick with some of your friends, but also let some go. Whatever emotion and whoever you choose, make sure you love life through everything you do.
