"Don't get lost in your pain . Know that one day your pain will become your cure "
Rumi


In the beginning

In life, as we grow older, we tend to meet new people, have new experiences and find our selves in different sets of circumstances per time, form different habits.

And the older we get, the more demanding it becomes and the more choices we have two make to make.

We have more choices because our needs have changed. We discover that the things we derived satisfaction from when we were much younger has progressively changed.

Just a couple of days ago...

Just a few days ago I was out in the neighborhood taking a walk. I then noticed a very young girl close-by. She didn't seem to be so happy. A trickle of tears was still visible on her face...
... Then all of a sudden her companion came out or the blues and pushed her. She pushed the 'assailant' in return and they began laughing jocundly and playing and they did. Oh! How Their faces glowed with gratification!

I began to think how much satisfaction children derive from The smallest of details . But as we grow older, the things we used it derive joy in changes. Well discover that 90% or the time we are thinking about our selves, our career, our relationship, our needs, our failures...

What do you expect?
What then do You expect when you overthink. You slid quickly into depression.


The 'maze runner ' circumstance

We then even find ourselves wound up in the wrong circumstances without having to do anything at all to deserve it.

We may find ourselves in the wrong job, in the wrong relationships.The wrong leadership position, the wrong friends, the wrong course. The awful thoughts and feelings. We find ourselves wound up in a endless maze of bad situations. Bad, bad memories...

Some circumstances may be so overwhelming that we feel we may never get rid of.

OK, can I just give up?

of course not! The whole world is watching you, your family, your friends, your daughter in the future, the whole lot of them. Giving up isn't even an alternative..

The curious paradox

But I would love to let you know at this instant that Your pain and the challenges you're facing Now may be the cure to someone else someday.

Come to think of it, if the world had no problems, there wouldn't be any solution . Apply the same time your life.

"Your pain and the challenges you're facing Now may be the cure to someone else someday."

If you aren't going through stuff, you wouldn't need to work on yourself and improve your life.

So if you find yourself not making the expected grades, you may as well turn out a renowned educational consultant, if you find yourself in the wrong job, you may as well become your own boss someday ,

"These pains you feel are messengers. Listen to them."
-Rumi


If you find yourself in the wrong habit or addiction, you may be the one to create awareness and deliver millions from the same addiction someday, the list is endless.

But the point is, your solution in life is presently clothed as a problem.

"The cure for pain is in the pain "
-Rumi


Learn to accept challenges with an open mind. Now don't get me wrong, always make an attempts to change rye things you can and should buy never punish yourself over situations over and above your control . Here is how the Beautiful serenity prayer puts it.

"Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

-Reinhold Niebuhr
American Theologian

Nice piece man

Thanks a lot for the read @samminator

Indeed bro. If the world had no problem. There will be no solution.

And at most times these are our defining moments to giving and finding value to our lives and existence.
Lovely words bro. Thanks for the share.

@gunneresq if there's anyone who can relate to this post then it's you .

We discover that the best of our experiences and achievements have come from our darkest moments, when we are facing severe turmoil

I'm glad you took out time to read.

I am happy you spoke my heart.

Pain is a deep well that sucks you in until you feel that this is what you have always deserved.
No.

I'm hard pressed to agree with you @yvonn. There are different forms of pain, some deserving others not. I'm an ardent believer in the law of Karma but here's the part

Any pain that comes without you doing anything at all to deserve it has a huge lesson and sometimes may be a blessing in disguise.

Thanks for the read howbeit.
