He who will live to tell the story of a war must not die in the battle. Some battles must be lost for some to be won. In a case where you are not strong enough to fight the attackers, you should be ready to lose the battle or die. A wise man will choose the former to the latter. We lose some battle to live to fight again, maybe then as a better and fortified warrior. Every wise individual must know when to retreat and the time to surrender.
Life itself is pain. A mother gives life to a child in terrible pains. The child comes out of her mother’s womb in pain; no wonder, the baby cries when it arrives on planet earth. A baby that does not cry at birth (if there is any) is abnormal.
Pain (physical or emotional) brings the best out of every individual- the reason why the career/ life coach advocates leaving the comfort zone. Emotional pains teaches character and makes one a better individual. Little wonder the age long saying, experience (bitter in most cases) is the best teacher, remains invaluable.
Physical pains, in the form of exercises help in keeping fit. The diva with the great, mind-blowing and head turning shape goes through painful physical exercises to retain the compliments. The CEO in that outstanding organization experiences painful and sacrificial sleepless nights to keep shining in that lofty position that should be envied.
Pains make living worth it. A skin that does not feel pain is leprous. No one likes leprosy, therefore pains should be appreciated. Every success has a story which is mostly that of pain and perseverance.
Pain is worth appreciating. Appreciate the painful moments. Enjoy the storms of life when you can!
