Expect Just Anything

"To avoid becoming upset, being worried, being anxious and over-reflective, expect just anything, put up with anything that comes along. Always say: 'Welcome illness,' 'welcome failure,’ 'welcome suffering.' This brings meekness, without which there can be no spiritual life."
Elder Aimilianos of Simonopetras
