A life sentence!

I recall a story about a judge giving a young man a life sentence for a crime he had committed.

The young man said, “Judge I can’t do a life sentence!” and the judge said, “Well son, just do as much of it as you can. “

We are all given a life sentence that includes some pain and suffering. We are also given a life that includes great happiness.

Our innate ability to endure is the bridge that provides the strength for us to cross from periods of suffering to periods of great happiness.
