For people who have to live a difficult life, when they live their life 
for God, they may still have to endure the physical pain in their body, 
but they don't have to endure any mental suffering in their mind. There 
isn't any to begin with. In fact, they may be given the extra strength 
to help them to endure the extra physical pain so that they can overcome 
their difficulty. To them, failure will never discourage them, each time 
they fail, it will only make them coming back to start a more fierce 
struggle. It's all because they live their lives for God, they have 
nothing to worry about.
