Pain Is Inevitable, But Misery Is Optional

Pain is inevitable, but misery is optional

No one can ever avoid pain but we can learn to manage pain.

The rich experience pain

The poor also experience pain

No one is special enough to avoid pain

I wonder why when some people have their own share of ill luck, pain, they complain, "Why me?"

The question should rather be, "Why not you?"

Why should you be exempted from pain?

Why should you be treated special?

Pain has no favourite

It affects everyone at the time it so wishes to

It is up to you to determine what you do with your pain and how you handle it.

Are you going to give up because you felt pain?

Or push through so you can get the gain?

The choice is yours.

The moment you realize and understand that you will feel pain at every point in your life, you will begin to see things differently and work through that pain instead of giving up at the slightest pinch of pain.

The rewards go to those who understand what it means to get kicked, fall off the side but are determined to never give up.

They get up again and again and again until they become comfortable despite the pain that they feel.

Until you learn to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations and endure the pain during those times, it will be difficult to push through and become an overcomer.

Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.

Go through that pain, endure until you get your gain.
