Pain

Greetings Steemians,

Today this quote from Jim Morrison connects with me.

I've experienced different sorts of pain in this life, we all have.

Can the pain of a broken bone be compared to the pain of a broken heart?
In my mind it cannot, I have been fortunate enough to experience both on several occasions.

Why fortunate?
Because the greatest insight(s) I have gained throughout life have come from some of the most painful experience(s) of my life; all different forms of pain.

It's all about how you deal with, and what you learn from said experiences.

Sometimes pain can even be traumatic, but if confronted properly, that is, in a constructive way, instead of say, a de-structive way, there can be some great positive growth as a lasting result.

Forcing of behavioral changes has been known to help people break patterns. Something as simple as brushing your teeth with the opposite hand. It might sound silly, but patterns make it hard to stop destructive patterns, so mindful awareness of your habits and routines is a great step in positive growth from pain.

I've learned from my pain, and I'm still learning.

It's easy to fall back into old habits and routines.

I must remind myself that I'm worth the work, that I'm worth loving, even if I am not always feeling it.

Sometimes the moment is tough, and so very painful.

Without it, how could we define a pleasurable moment?

Much love my friends.

Until next time. <3
