Living and Learning


Life doesn’t always have to be painful, but pain is still the main reason we change. Until we r in pain, we can pretend like our ego says "I’m fine" When things hurt enough, for example when we r lonely enough or scared enough, we become vulnerable. our ego has no more answers n we open up. Pain encourages us to get serious. It’s always easier to be philosophical about "other ppl’s pain", "going broke was a huge learning experience for him","that divorce helped her to stand on her own feet","challenges make u stronger". But when our own challenges come along, we’re not so enthusiastic. We say "Lord, y this?","Give me a convenient challenge!". Unfortunately, real challenges r not convenient.
