Motivational Monday: There Is a Lesson In Your Pain

 

Life is full of lessons, some that are fun to experience and some that create the feeling of pain. This could be physical, mental, emotional and/or spirit pain. A saying my mother taught me to  help gage if I was was self inducing pain went like this, " Spirit warns you once, spirit warns you twice, the third time you stand alone." 

If you see the same outcome with a given interaction with certain people or events, that is an indication you could be self inducing pain. How many times will you choose to repeat or allow the same cycle of behavior before you have had enough?

Pain is a tool to help us learn. Learn what you don't like and make a change to focus on patterns of behavior that engages in activities or interactions with people that bring experiences into your life you do like. 

From that pain, you can come into a new level awareness that can even help uplift others.

That is very true.  We learn of all experiences even the most painful ones.

I always say the same lesson comes back over and over til the lesson is learned. If you are seeing repeats, you probably are not doing something right !

Indeed there is an old saying "no pain no gain" and indeed those of us who get through the pain end up learning....Endre

Laura, this is a good lesson.  So often people people repeat behaviors with negative outcomes.  I love that your mom taught you to question the repetition.  She was a wise lady.
