Deeply painful experiences are inevitable in life,
whether it be a traumatic break-up or the loss of a job.
Upon encountering the suffering in life, many seek detachment. This is a grave error. Suffering is everywhere because it flows from fundamental aspects of existence. Without suffering, there would be no growth. Without growth, there would be no life. The answer to suffering is not in its denial, but to harness its energy and transform it into power.
When suffering is guided, it becomes struggle, and struggle leads to your growth.
If life were a game, struggle is exactly what would give you experience and allow you to level up. Every dragon you slay is a struggle that gives you experience and levels up your character. When you face dragons in your life, don’t run away. Conquer them and become a more powerful person. Once you consciously realize that struggle leads to your growth, it becomes much easier to deal with. If you were a block of stone being struck by a hammer and chisel, you would experience pain and suffering as you’re being broken down. However, if you embrace, direct, and guide the hammer and chisel as it chips away, you’ll be transformed from a block of stone into a magnificent statue. When you change your perspective, you can find joy in the process because you know that you’re becoming transformed into a strong, powerful work of art.
Your perspective shapes your experience, and by changing your perspective you can change your experience.
Our saying, “Per Aspera Ad Astra,” means “through hardships, to the stars.” All your hardships will ultimately lead you to the stars themselves. Hyperians transform struggle into power like coal into diamond. When you’re having a hard time in life don’t get lost in despair. Guide the break up to teach you what you want in a relationship and use it as a moment of growth to become more self-reliant. See the loss of a job as an opportunity to embark on a new adventure. Change your perspective and use it as a tool to become a stronger individual. Don’t run away and detach from life. Embrace life, rejoice in struggle, and you will become a shining being of the highest power.
