In the first stage of the Third Noble Truth, we are not aware of freedom and happiness. Recognition of peace and joy, that well-being is possible, is the first turning. The second turning, to encourage ourselves to find peace and joy, involves recognizing the miracles of being alive. "We can put an end to our suffering just by realizing that our suffering is not worth suffering for," by facing the difficulties, and developing new happiness.
