We mistakenly believe that the path to a good life or a better life is to eliminate pain. To experience mental or emotional pain is actually a gift. At the core of your pain is an answer, possibly the very answer you have been seeking. All forms of pain come to teach you. To strengthen you. To reveal some deeper understanding of your true identity.
