For years I ran from pain thinking denial would make it go away. But denying the pain only created more and more anguish and isolation. Hearing the phrase, "Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional," touched the core of my being. The reality is that as a human being I will experience pain. It is inevitable. Knowing I can alleviate needless suffering if I am willing to risk facing my pain creates a feeling of hope and security in me.
Help me to face my pain. Give me the courage to share my hurts with another, for it will rid me of my isolation.
Feeling pain is a sign that I am human, open to life, and growing.
