Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional.
None of us really "like" to suffer. We don't sit there and say to ourselves: "today, I'm going to do everything in my power to purposely cause myself to suffer..."
So why do we do it?
Often times we're not aware of the negative self talk that's going on in our heads.
We're so used to thinking and feeling in a certain way, and then it inevitably becomes a pattern.
We don't spend the time thinking if it is good for us, and healthy for us to keep our mind on_____?
Can we change what once happened? Wouldn't it be better if we began looking at pain from a different perspective?
Pain is designed to purify and make us humble; to be genuine toward ourselves and others.
It enables us to gain a better understanding of the agony of others. It's there to make it easier for us to remove our masks, and uncover our real selves - it's okay to hurt.
Nonetheless, there's another alternative, we don't have to keep wallowing in our grief.
We can choose to love ourselves enough and put the pain from the past where it belongs... behind us.
It’s time to stop looking in the rear view mirror and focus on the road ahead of you - a life filled with endless possibilities.
