Some say that change can't happen without pain! When pain is experienced it is seen as negative. When we hit our head on the door by accident we think "what is wrong with me?". But without pain we would be a lot me bent and bruised. Pain tells us that we are in danger and helps us steer far away from it. In fact it can be a positive thing.
But now I want to talk about another kind of pain, maybe an emotional pain or a physical pain. When u start gyming it hurts! But I think the key is to try move beyond the momentary pain and to the insight that pain is for our gain. Yes cliche as it may sound, it is a great principle to learn as it takes us beyond our current reality into something unseen,much like setting longterm goals.
I have always found it difficult to set longterm goals and stick to them because life is so unpredictable that our plans don't often work out like we plan. For example last night I worked late so I could print my work early this morning, complications arose and I'm going to print tommorrow afternoon! But of late I have become more and more inspired to push the boundries and go a little beyond myself and the current realities to an unseen long and short term goal. My goal is also to do it with enthusiasm and motivation!
My concluding remarks are that there is beauty in change as well as beauty in deep peace within the soul. Both should be pursued. Both should be encouraged (even if it hurts). So let us reach for those things that seem surreal! Let us live in a dimension that can only be imagined! And let us change and rest at the same time!
