I can't stop thinking about this...

Michael Caine on his defining philosophy on life:

Use the Difficulty

As a young actor, he was rehearsing a play scene when a chair got stuck in the door and blocked his path.

He told the other actor he couldn't get by the chair to enter the room in the scene.

The actor's response:

"Use the difficulty...if it's a comedy, fall over it, if it's a drama, pick it up and smash it."

This story offers a powerful reframe:

Every single difficulty you face is an opportunity in disguise.

The difficulty is a guarantee. The struggle. The obstacle. The frustration. The failure. The hurt. The setback.

They will come. You don’t get to choose whether they appear, or when, but you do get to choose how you handle them.

How can you use the difficulty you're currently facing?

- Can you embrace this struggle?
- Can you grow through it?
- Can you find flow through friction?

If you were reading a biography of your life, what would make this difficulty into an inflection point?

The moment when everything turned for the better. The unmistakable point where everything changed.

How would you have responded to this moment?

The difficulty is a guarantee. You can't control it.

But you can control how you react to it. You can control your response to it. You can control your attitude towards it.

You can use the difficulty.

This is one of my favorite movie endings...

It has a powerful lesson:

"At some point, everything is going to go south on you...and you're gonna say 'this is it, this is how I end.' Now you can either accept that, or you can get to work. That's all it is, you just begin. You do the math. You solve one problem. Then you solve the next one. And the next. And if you solve enough problems, you get to come home."

This is the beautiful thing about life:

No matter where you are today—no matter how deep in the darkness—you are always just one good decision away from being in a better place tomorrow.

You can always focus on that one decision—that one problem—in front of you.

Don't worry about the hundreds or thousands of decisions that you still have to make to get to where you want to be—just focus on the next decision.

Just begin. Solve one problem. Then solve the next one. And the next.

"Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated." - Confucius

I recently came across a short story that forced me to rethink my life, priorities, and regrets:

The Parable of the Farmer and the Horse.

Here are the two lessons everyone needs to hear:

[مُزدانَةْ @_mzdanh]

خطبة الجمعة | ثُم برحمةِ الله سَترى كيف يهون الذي اعتقدت أنه لا يهون، وكيف تتجاوز الذي ظننت أنه صعب، سترى كيف يطيب قلبك وستشهد شفاء نفسك، فرحمة الله تُنسي وتُشفي ويعقبها العوض الذي يأتي من حيث لا تحتسب، فكرم الله عظيم ورحمته واسعة.
