Have you ever heard of the saying, “pain brings people together?” Where do you think this philosophy came from? I ask you because I do not know myself, but I can relate to the truth behind the statement. Maybe it is something that we all have to experience, the teacher we all must come to know in order to progress through this life.
All I think I know is what I believe to know. And what I know is this, I along with many others including yourself have gone through life and experienced something. Whether it be good or bad is a matter of interpretation and perspective.
From that experience, we develop a judgment. Within judgment lies belief. Belief to me is the motor that keeps everything around us running. I know that much of what I just said all sound one and the same, but that is because I think they are.
Hear me out, assuming that you believe life is our teacher, there must be lessons within the structure and process of life itself. Life begins and then it ends. We have no control over anything except what happens between the two.
Experiences shape who we are internally and externally. The lessons learned or not learned from an experience have equivalent consequences. This is why it is important to not only think but see with an clear mind. So that we can see the lessons being presented to us through our experiences.
Life gets hard but that is what helps us to understand the goodness of life. I believe in order to become resilient you have to be able to scope out the best of things even when doing so may present difficulty so that you will have a chance at something more desirable.
Everything we want is on the other side of fear and comfort. Judgment is your ability to look at a situation or circumstance and determine whether or not it aligns with what you believe is right or within your grasp.
What we believe about the world and ourselves is essentially what we leave behind. It is where our legacy stems from and our impact sprouts itself onto those who experience us as well. Believing is powerful.
I encourage anyone who is going through something. No matter how big or small the situations, or how long the hardship. I challenge you to get the best out of the experience even if it seems impossible to overcome.
When judgment seems to be a little foggy, and it fails you the first time, try again. Keep trying until you get enough mental strength to pull through.
Sometimes you have to get through the mess to get the message.
Once you get that message, analyze it and learn from it. When you take lessons as learned, then the pain ceases to inflict such serve damage on you and your heart when you are able to teach that lesson learned without having someone else go through the damage. Maybe pain brings us together because we feel like the healing must come from someone else, when God has given us the power of believing.
Believe that you are here on purpose for a purpose. Believing is a God-given gift that allows us to shape our reality into what we make of it. If life is teaching you something, learn from it and grow from that lesson. What you do with today will align you with what you have tomorrow.
