Allow yourself to hope, to believe and to trust again; don’t let a few bad memories stop from having a good life.

 When you are in pain,

something in you takes over and drives you to survive.
That's the life force.
In fact, you are not all that delicate. You are somewhat tough.
You have the force of life within you.
When you feel affected by pain, when your legs hurt while you are meditating,
for example, a certain vitality comes out of trying to compensate for the pain.
In the practice of meditation, working with the life force is also referred to as the mindfulness of life.
