The PAIN while we are going through DOWN periods can be a blessing in disguise.

The PAIN while we are going through DOWN periods can be a blessing in disguise. It is a known fact that we are strongly motivated by two factors in our lives. We automatically gravitate AWAY from potential PAIN and we are ATTRACTED by potential PLEASURE. It is our FEELINGS that direct most of the choices that we make in life. We more often than not follow the path of least resistance. We tend to slavishly obey one of the millions of mind movies that we gathered since our early childhood. We blindly act on the FEELINGS that are “packaged” together with every experience we acquired during our lifetime. We never STOP for a moment and question the validity of the feelings that we experience. We become like some kind of copy machine that daily copy everything that came before. This mindset stops all potential for GROWTH. It is often only when we go through serious emotional or physical PAIN that we WAKE UP to the REALITIES of life. It is often intense PAIN that is needed to force us to notice a “TRUTH” that we have been ignoring. We tend to see what we want to see and hear only what we want to hear while we are in this hypnotised state of mind. The PAIN ALARM fortunately wakes some of us up and forces us to ask, “Is there something that I have been ignoring in my relationships, work or any other area of my life?” It is only when we are outside the reach of the “spell” of a person or situation that we seem to notice things and people in their true perspective. Repeat the following as often as you can today. I will today become acutely aware of the role that PAIN plays in my life. Pain is my ALARM system to inform me that there is something that needs to be modified. You will be astounded how accurate this system is and how it guides you not only in the moments, but remind you that some of your historical perceptions (beliefs) might need updating.
