Struggle


Life without this... Forget it....

Fight with Pain



On our journey through life we all encounter periods of pain. Sometimes this pain is physical, sometimes it is emotional, but in either case it’s very important to have a strategy for dealing with painful circumstances.

If you are dealing with a painful situation at the moment, I’d like to share with you a quote that has helped me get through some of the most painful times of my life. The quote is this in the above image.

n 2002 I was involved in an accident in a karate dojo and faced several months of rehabilitation. During this time I printed out this quote and stuck it next to my bed. I read it every morning and every night and I believe it played a big part in my recovery.

When we are faced with pain we each have a choice to make. We can quit and accept our circumstances, or we can make the decision to fight with all the resources we have at our disposal.

Today I’d like to encourage you to draw on the support of those who love you and adopt the view that your pain is temporary.

When you adopt this perspective, you will start to turn your focus towards the future and begin to look beyond your current pain. I hope this quote will help you as much as it has helped me.
