Everyone wants to escape pain and enjoy the good moments that come after. You might avoid the pain of a relationship breaking up or having to admit you need to lose weight and improve your health The emotions associated with these events are painful but they build character. There is two sides to everything in the universe, called duality. So, a relationship break up may be leading you to your soul mate and similarly, losing weight may save you from a life-threatening illness down the road. I invite you to connect with your pain and anguish. I’m not asking you to like it, yet accept it is happening and allow it to move through you. It may be the very thing that leads to what you’ve been wishing for all along, yet clothed in an entirely different way. As the saying affirms: “Feel the fear and do it anyway.” #overcomepain #character #resiliency #hope #overcomefear #innerpeace #innerpower #innerstrength #selfesteem #riseabovesorrow #riseabove #riseaboveall #personaltriumph #personalgrowth #personaldevelopment #selfimprovement
