How We Deal With Pain

‘The daily migration is a persistent drift from depth to surface and back to depth. This is how we deal with pain and stay in the world while cleansing life itself- through introspection, creativity, love, and friendship.’- Mark Nepo, The Endless Practice: Becoming Who You Were Born to Be

Pain is your best teacher. Whatever you are going through in your life, you can deal with it. Do not give up. Because you are bigger than what you are going through.

Pain is not your enemy. It is your friend. You can’t avoid it. If you want to grow in your life, you must deal with pain. You must deal with obstacles. Above all, you must deal with yourself. You must deal with your ego. And you must deal with your pride.

Don’t ignore pain, but deal with it. It is not comfortable, but you can do it. If you do not know how to go about it, ask people who have done it, who have been there, seen it, done it.

Remember, to get something, you must go after it. And you can do it.
