00:00Life hurts us so much that we become insensitive to ourselves.
00:04That's the only way we think we can survive. If we do not become numb, it pains.
00:09No! Gather some courage. Open up to your own hurt.
00:13Admit that you are suffering and that is not a sign of weakness.
00:17The day you open up and acknowledge your sufferings is the day you are standing up to your suffering.
00:23What's worst is when we refuse to acknowledge that life is really bad for us.
00:28That's a sign of deep cowardice, weakness and lack of faith.
00:33The moment you say, yes, it is bad, very bad. How is it? Smile and say, very bad.
00:38There is no reason to keep uttering to others, oh good, good, I am doing good.
00:42You don't need to weep but you also don't need to be a liar.
00:46With a smile say, yes, I am hurt, I am vulnerable, I am beaten, I am bruised.
00:50It pains everywhere but I have not been finally beaten because I have not yet surrendered.
00:57I have faith. I will fight it out.
