FRIDAY THOUGHTS #90: PAIN IS YOUR PROVISION

Pain Is Your Provision.

I just was relaxing this evening with my Uncle - having a few bevvies and discussing the week. We eventually got on the topic of life, it's ups and downs, it's twist and it's turns - it's definitely rarely a dull moment lol, it's good tho.

During the conversation I mentioned that "the spoils in life come from those who are able to turn their pain and trauma into a blessing".  I went on to say something along the lines of the following...

"Every day that we're living we know that the sun will come up and the sun will go down...we know this. We know that the seasons will change.  One month it'll be spring...a few months later it will be summer, we know this. One day it will rain and the other day it will be sunny...this is life. We also know that in life there will be pain...there will be trauma. You can't run from it, you won't get away from it. Pain is a slice of life, just as apple pie is a slice of America. The people who are able to metabolize their pain will get a reward for it, they will allow themselves to grow from it and in turn will always find joy, peace, happiness and success - it's inevitable. I truly believe that the goal of life is to get to the point that we take full advantage of every painful situation we endure...metabolize it correctly and allow it to break us into something beautiful. With that type of mindset it is impossible to lose in the end...impossible. People are walking around with millions of dollars in their pockets and all they have to do is "cash in" on their pain to access it. Your pain is your provision when you metabolize it correctly. The creator of M.A.D.D (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers) she took her pain and used it to be a blessing to others...and in turn it was a blessing to her.  What blessings have you not taken full advantage of yet? Your pain is your provision...allow it to bless others and in turn, it will bless you."
