"Learn to suffer."

"When a person trains once, nothing happens. When a person forces himself to do a thing a hundred or a thousand times, then he certainly has developed in more ways than physical. Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter, either. Then willpower will be no problem." Emil Zatopek

It is ka, and ka is destiny
I do not aim with my hand, I aim with my eye.
I do not shoot with my hand, I shoot with my mind.
I do not kill with my gun, I kill with my heart.
He who forgets these things has forgotten the face of his father.

Mithras also a soldier
MITHRAS, God of the Morning, our trumpets waken the Wall! Rome is above the Nations, but Thou art over all! Now as the names are answered, and the guards are marched away, Mithras, also a soldier, give us strength for the day!
Mithras, God of the Noontide, the heather swims in the heat, Our helmets scorch our foreheads ; our sandals burn our feet. Now in the ungirt hour; now ere we blink and drowse, Mithras, also a soldier, keep us true to our vows !
Mithras, God of the Sunset, low on the Western main, Thou descending immortal, immortal to rise again! Now when the watch is ended, now when the wine is drawn, Mithras, also a soldier, keep us pure till the dawn!
Mithras, God of the Midnight, here where the great bull dies, Look on Thy children in darkness. Oh take our sacrifice! Many roads Thou hast fashioned: all of them lead to the Light,Mithras, also a soldier, teach us to die aright!
Rudyard Kipling

toil, tedium, and suffering
In subjecting ourselves to week after week of toil, tedium, and suffering, it struck me that most of us were seeking, above all else, something like a state of grace.
