There Is No Growth Without Pain

“We grow the most as human beings during our toughest times.”

Robin Sharma

Growth comes with pain. Without pain, without change, there is no growth. If you want to grow, you must be ready to endure the impossible. There is no growth without pain. There is no growth without doing something that will make you really uncomfortable. Growth is scary. We fear growth. We fear growth because we don’t want to fail. But if you don’t change, if you don’t have the courage to face your fears, how can you grow?

“This, too, shall pass.”

Eppie Lederer

We don’t like change. We don’t like to change our old ways of doing things. Believe me, my friend, if you want to develop a new habit, you must let go of your old ways of doing things. You must allow yourself to be vulnerable. Remember that the pain that comes with change is not permanent; it is a temporary one.

According to Eppie Lederer, “Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and repeat to yourself, the most comforting words of all; this, too, shall pass.” Yes, this, too, shall pass. Nothing is permanent in life. Know that we can’t go anywhere without change. Yes, it comes with pain. But if you don’t persevere, what do you think will happen to your future? The future that you are fighting for starts today. If you are scared of change, you will miss your future. Do you want to miss your future?

When Regret Is Absent

“Never regret yesterday. Life is in you today, and you make your tomorrow.”- L. Ron Hubbard

We are really good at regretting everything that we have done wrong in the past. Regret is just regret. It never adds anything to our precious lives. Then why are we doing it? Why are we spending time to regret? Is it helping or hurting us?

Stop regretting your life, and start enjoying it. Your life has no room for garbage.Yes, no room garbage. Garbage in, garbage out. It is time for you to start enjoying your life. Because whatever you have lost in the past, regret will not bring it back. Regret increases your pain.

You can’t change what happened to you in the past, but you can change how you move forward. You can’t change the past, but you can prepare for tomorrow. But if you keeping regretting everything, you are preventing yourself from reaching your goals. You can’t do well if you keep regretting your past mistakes. You can only move forward if you accept your past mistakes. Stop doing that. You can change things. You can turn things around.

When regret is absent, then your real life comes in. Because when you are regretting your past mistakes, it affects everything you do in your life. You cannot enjoy your life. It affects your thinking, your relationships with yourself and others, your happiness, your career, your spiritual life. It contaminates your attitude. It prevents you from seeing the good things in front of you. It prevents you from seeing things in a positive way. Regret is not for you. Stop doing it, and your life will never be the same again. Amen!
