Breaking the Pain Barrier

Good Morning everyone, today's quote: "Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding." Khalil Gibran

I am almost positive that this quote has more to do with emotional and mental pain however this could pertain to physical pain as well. If one were to break their arm climbing a tree for example, they would then understand the dangers of climbing a tree. The repercussions of choices made and the pain those choices can cause us and other people, are swathed in lessons just waiting for our acknowledgement. A broken heart for instance, can teach us to to be more careful about who we give our emotional selves to and to what extent we allow them to get to know us. Although these things are painful to have to go through, and I do not wish pain on anyone, the things pain can teach us about ourselves and those around us are invaluable lessons. We learn through pain what we are capable of, how far we can go before it's too much, how much we are able to endure and what we can overcome. We learn to listen to our bodies when pain signals that we may be injured or ill and we learn to listen to our instincts by learning who we can trust and what the face of malice may look like when we have been the target of those wishing us harm.  There is an abundance of knowledge to be gained by the events in our lives that because of the pain they cause, most people would look at as unfortunate or cruel. I invite you all, the next time you are suffering from any sort of pain, to look within and see what it is teaching you at that moment. Perhaps by threading it in silver lining, the more positive aspects can replace some of the impact the damage has caused with a sense of understanding and peace.
Namaste, I wish you all peace and a wealth of blessings this day.
