Use the Pain… USE the pain! Yes, that’s always better to use it to be motivated, rather than getting swallowed up in it!

I’ve always preferred using the pain as a fuel to propel me through the rough times. It beats the powerlessness of allowing myself to be consumed by it. I don’t know whether that means I’m a survivor *because* of my pain or in spite of it, but either way, I am stronger for my challenges and live with the spirit of a phoenix–gaining more intensity, more joy and more happiness.

Hmmm, interesting point you raise, Jenny. Chicken or egg? You’re waayyyy ahead of me! I guess just as a shadow is cast by a light, so is pain. Always love reading your posts. Pure Heart, CJ
