“Detachment to the results of our actions and the outcomes of life
situations is the key to happiness, for it’s impossible to control life.
While incarnating, the soul chooses certain challenges to appear in its
life, but, once incarnated, the body forgets about having made these
choices. Certain difficulties arise simply to awaken our potential and
talents. Every problem is an opportunity for evolution, a way of
bringing out the best in us. Challenges are a true gift from God.”

Via Sri Prem Baba: Flor do Dia- Flor del Día - Flower of the Day 04/08/2015
“Desapegar do resultado das ações e do desfecho das situações da vida é
fundamental para a felicidade. Até porque não é possível controlar a
vida. Ao encarnar, a alma escolhe determinados desafios mas, ao
encarnar, o corpo esquece disso. Determinadas dificuldades são
justamente para acordar seus potenciais e talentos. Cada problema é uma
oportunidade de evolução, uma forma de trazer à tona o seu melhor - um
verdadeiro presente divino.”

Good Impatience, Bad Impatience
Impatience
can be very good by helping us not put up with tyranny, but it can
distort our view of what is possible and how to bring about change. We
have to cultivate patience so that our perception isn't distorted.
