We all embrace pain, right?  We celebrate it, welcome it, right?

We don’t? . . . hmmm . . . What would it look like if we did?  If we came to the understanding that pain is one of our greatest teachers, then maybe we could begin to welcome it, celebrate it and embrace it for the spiritual gift(s) that come in the wake of its departure.

Think about one of your most painful experiences, whether physical, mental or emotional.

• What do you remember about it?
• Was it was difficult?
• Did it cause you great hardship and discomfort?
• Did you eventually have to do something about it?
• Did you have to stop doing something or did you have to start doing something else?
• Did it make you have to STOP for a while?

Pain is our greatest teacher.  Profound and unforgiving in its method, it certainly does transform us.  “That which doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger”, so we become stronger because of pain.  We become more compassionate, more patient, more in tune, more aware, more alive because of pain.

Although it serves many higher spiritual purposes, we do not want to linger in the pain zone, the sooner we can work through it, the better.  This is why I suggest embracing, celebrating and welcoming it.  Acknowledge that you are about to learn a huge lesson and actively work toward finding the “pearls”, the strength, the wisdom, the aliveness which accompanies our pain
