We have a lot of good experiences in life and sometimes things go exactly the way we want them to and we feel happy and content. But pain is a normal part of our lives and we’ll all go through difficult passages from time to time. When we’re hurting and feel overcome, it can be hard to see any light ahead. Intense, painful events can knock us down and we may feel the impact of the disappointment for a long time. If we suddenly lose a job we value, a trusted friend betrays us or a lover leaves, or we experience the death of someone close, we may be left bereft and devastated. It takes time to recover from very difficult situations. We may try to put it behind us and each day the pain recedes a little, but it may take longer to feel strong again than we imagine. Deep, invasive disappointments affect how we feel about ourselves and how we see the world around us. While we suffer, we may lose faith in the future, doubt that we are lovable, or think the whole world has turned against us. It can be a lot to overcome. They say time heals all wounds, and that’s true but it might take more time than we thought. It may seem the pain is never ending but each day we step a little further down the road, and heal a little more. It doesn’t matter how long it takes us to feel whole again. The important thing is to keep moving forward. In time, however long that takes, we’ll feel confident and complete again. We can trust ourselves to find our footing. Life will give us many opportunities to learn and grow, and even if it hurts, each lesson gives us something valuable to carry forward. We can face anything that comes. We are strong and capable, and nothing can hold us down.
It’s fun and exciting to eat something really delicious and we may enjoy trying new foods from different places. What if something happened and suddenly our taste buds no longer worked? If everything we ate was tasteless and bland the whole experience would be altered. When we’re in pain, it can feel like life has lost its flavor and nothing is appealing any longer. Colors may seem dull, and we may feel numb and invisible. When pain takes over it’s hard to feel anything else but nothing lasts forever and eventually we will heal and everything we’ve lost will return.
When the road has been long and challenging, and we’re tired and feel overcome, it can be hard to take another step. We may believe we can’t move anymore and think about giving up and giving in. Life can be difficult and when we’re in pain it can be hard to feel hope. We can give up, but we are stronger than we realize, and nothing is powerful enough to stop us. There is nothing capable of holding us down if we are determined to stand. Pain hurts and we will suffer, but no night lasts forever. The sun always rises and we will prevail.
Today if you’ve been hurt and are struggling to find your way, trust yourself. You have overcome many difficulties already and you can conquer anything. Step forward and have faith. Every blessing is possible and nothing will keep you from success. The road to happiness is already there for you. Stand strong and look ahead.
