“I thank everyone that has caused me to suffer,
without you I would have no reason to express myself.”
~Author Unknown
Imagine all the work that has been done that has been inspired by pain and suffering. So much of that work, music, movie, books written done be people that have been there, done that. Because of their experience they could share, they did share.
To give thanks, even to those who hurt you is immeasurable power. For with out that pain and suffering you would not be able to appreciate those who bring so much joy and love to your life.
Pain and suffering will pass, like a raging storm that causes flood and destruction, they both will pass on to the next town. Sure the clean up will be extensive but the suffering will soon end because of the action and work put forth. Because of the people who mean so much to you who help to pick up the debris left behind.
Oh sure, you will have to do much of this pick up and clean up yourself. Others have their own suffering and debris to get rid of.
But no doubt if you can look back in your life and think of the things that have gone wrong, the pain and suffering caused and you can say "thank you" to that event or person, not carry any bitterness, not carry any hate, or thoughts of revenge. Then your ability to appreciate the full spectrum of life, the good, the bad, the ugly and the awesome will be much more vivid and impactful.
So if the storm is raging in your life now, know it will pass, it is even passing now. Right now it is moving for nothing stays the same, things change, life has a constant motion.
We of course can aid in the change, how we perceive the current wind. The rain can be helpful to wash away the dirt, the debris. Our perception will always be important on how we view our pain and suffering.
The constant is always our thoughts and desire to let go of what has caused your discomfort. Giving thanks and praise to God in our prayers has extreme impact on how we view our growth from said event.
So today, heck everyday, view your moments of suffering, the pain or mild discomfort. Take time to reflect on the passing of the storm, the clean up of those who helped you carry on. The person, place or thing that caused the pain or event. Give thanks to all for all played a role in the healing process.
Pain is inevitable as is suffering.
However so is laughter, joy, love and forgiveness.
Share that smile today, pray that prayer, laugh for no good reason but just to feel that lift of the spirit.
Love always and as always smiles sent out to you! : )
