Take The Lessons of Life As A Healing Process

I recently had a minor dislocation. I was on the staircase when I fell. I got up and simply went my way. Later, I felt a little pain in my leg and I felt when I sleep and wake up, it would be long gone.

I forgot that problems sometimes do not just go away. We have to work at it, trying the best that we can to make the problem go away. The next day, the pain did not go away and in fact, I still feel the pain until this very moment.

But that is not the main story. The part of the story that I would like to share is what happens when I get someone to help me massage that part of my leg. When anyone tries to massage it, I feel so much pain, but I must endure the pain because it is in the pain that the the leg heals.

Remembering this, I compared the massage situation with the way things happen in other areas of our lives. I could decide to not let anyone massage my leg for the fear of the pain, but that would only lead to more pain, but when I endure the temporary pain, the healing I would have in the end is more important and definitely most fulfilling.

So in life, we are sometimes wounded and the actions and events that happen every day are sometimes trying to develop us into something much better, A healed and better version of ourselves and that sometimes is painful and takes time. So for me, when I fall into any situation, whether good or bad, I hope to be able to look back at this scenario and remember that sometimes, pain is meant to make us stronger, not weaker.

That in the end, it matters that we patiently live through life, accepting the challenges that happen every day, but never giving up because of the temporary pleasure we might gain.

This also happens in the way we communicate with our friends and colleagues. We sometimes do not want them to feel pain and we try to hide or take them away from some of their problems, but in the end, it matters that they face the issues now so that they do not have to worry about it in the future. Parents would do really great if they sometimes allow their kids to face their challenges head on so that they can really grow and become better.

So to every one of us out there who is currently going through a situation, whether good or bad, the situation is not really the best, the test is how you are able to cope and react to the situation. Even something that seems good might be a test. Attending a party where too much food and other things one should not consume is also a test. Well, it is a test for how you react when you have an abundant supply of something.

So take every day as it comes, taking the lessons of life as a healing method and a pathway to becoming a better person every day.

Thanks and God Bless.
