I've noticed many people feel it is their fate to be unhappy.
But what if the pain in your life is not there to make you miserable?
What if it is to make you more AWARE?
The agony of my losses made me so much more grateful, appreciative, connected, compassionate, wise, proud, humble, respectful, careful, determined, alive...
If it wasn't for the pain that finally woke me up, I'd still be suffering in my heart and thinking like a victim. I'd still be crying in my beer. (Or whatever else I could find.)
Today the question I have for me is: What's the upside of spending half your life living like a fool?
And the question I have for you is: What good things have come of your pain and loss or suffering?
