How to enjoy life?- when life is difficult (Tamil)

Someone asked me
Why is life difficult ?

And I answered
To make it interesting!

Well that was the short answer.

But imagine this.
You love cooking. By yourself, with people, for family for Frds ..whatever.

You keep something out, you try new recipes, you fail, you try again..you succeed , maybe even invent a new recipe in the process but you do not tell that the whole thing was DIFFICULT.
Why?

1 : you loved & enjoyed the process .
2 you know you are learning and growing !

Right?

The same with life .

You get a difficult situation at work so that you learn your boundaries .

You get a difficult situation in your love life so you get to learn your attachment wounds or inner child wounds

You get a difficult child to deal with so that you can break family trauma cycles.

You lose people so you learn to handle grief
Your business partner runs away with your money so that you learn how to handle betrayal.

You face negative comments from people in real life or on social media so that you can evaluate who you really are, despite people throwing stones at you.

You feel stuck in life so that you can push your limits to find what you're soul purpose is..

So every difficulty in life is a teaching moment !
It's what makes the game interesting.
It is what gets you to next level.
