Suffer
I know this is hard to see
But this is actually the secret path to hyper growth and learning
It’s only a secret because most people don’t go here
Probably because it doesn’t sound fun or easy.
And then there’s also that not so pretty thing
Called shame
Attached to it.
But don’t you know
That to live is to suffer
And there’s actually a way
To relate to suffering
To end suffering.
And the moment that we can end it
And escape the pain/pleasure cycle
Is the moment that we can learn from it.
And that’s how we grow.
By experiencing growing pains
And learning how to find the way out.
That’s how we get stronger and wiser.
And because the way out
Can only by carved by you,
The path that you carve out
Is the actual path that leads to your purpose.
But wait there’s more
The path to actualizing your purpose
Is also one of suffering
Because it involves facing all of your fears
And as you know
We fear what pains us.
So the path to growing
And the path to your self-actualization
Is the same path
That begins with suffering
And ends with the end of suffering
Therefore, don’t avoid this path.
Because once you go through it
And find your way out
You will have found your way.
