Lessons For Life, Through Pain

Pain is just a feeling. It will fade with time. What stays are shadows of the pain. The memory of a painful experience may cast dark shadows on your thoughts. It is not to hurt you, but to remind you of the lessons the experience came packed with.

Accept the reality of what you have experienced. Tell yourself “It was just a new lesson, though a bit tough.” We may not have the patience or presence of mind to think so broad minded when in the middle of such a chapter in our life. Let it pass. Thinking about a bad experience is like reliving it. But once it is all over, it is just a memory. Now you have the freedom to revisit each and every moment, as many times as you like. Most often, such revisits and retrospection will not be needed. You will learn what you were destined to learn automatically, even without your conscious knowledge.

It takes less than a fraction of a second for scenes to change in your life. Each such scene offers you tremendous opportunities of life and learning. Make use of such moments. Learn from them. Do not get lost in an experience. Emerge from it like a Phoenix. Fly high, afar and beyond the pain, and whisper to yourself “Now you are a winner.” :-)

Love,
Athma...The Soul within...
