There is an old saying - "you can be in pain and suffer or you can be in pain and not suffer." The saying simply reminds us that life is going to have pain. Period. It will have pain. Our response to the pain is up to us. You can let the pain eat your lunch or you can work to put it into perspective. And sometimes it takes lots of hard work to make friends with painful situations.
Some of the difficulty that we experience in this life is self-inflicted. We must be open to hearing our mistakes and learning from them. Often the pain that others direct towards you and me is really a measurement of their own pain. We have to be careful to value their pain without taking it on personally.
Life is too short to be dominated by pain. Life is also too good to be dominated by pain.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
