The Blessing From Pain
Success and Greatness truly mean something to me. But I understand that they come with a price: the pain and agony of going through. I aspire to many a great thing, and there are times when I have truly been low in my life. But there is something that has been built in me that causes me to have a determination to not quit and never give up, even in the midst of, sometimes, severe pain.
Pain can truly be a motivator. It can motivate you to do good or bad. The results you experience are determined by the choice you make in what you do with that pain. Most people don’t like pain and do everything they can to avoid it. But I’ve learned to not run from my pain but run to it.
I now realize that the pain I have felt, and sometimes still feel, is a blessing to someone else that may be experiencing what I have already gone through. There’s an old saying I like: "Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger." And it is so very true. One of the ultimate blessings I am experiencing is others now being blessed because of the pain I was able to endure, in turn letting others know that they, too, can make it through painful situations and be a blessing to others.
