The only way that we can fully live is if we experience growth. The only way we can grow is if we experience suffering and or hardship. The most success people that I know of have experienced defeat, suffering, struggles, loss, and have somehow found their way out of the deep. We must understand that no pain that we suffer, nor trial that we experience, is wasted. In the end, it is all necessary for our growth. I now understand that our greatest growth is normally during our greatest challenges.

The reason that we must embrace our suffering is that most of our suffering has is tailored made for us. After all, He would not put more on us than we can bare. We must also, be willing to face our fear of pain and we must transform our negative emotion into a positive one. Finally, we must be willing to reflect on the path that we have traveled and uncover that long awaited inner peace. – It’s Just a Thought – Paul Steven Smith (Uncle Paul) www.unclepaulsthoughts.com
