RE: Why Your Potential Is Buried In Your Pain (And How to Reframe It)

in #growth7 years ago

There's a lot of wisdom in the idea of reframing pain. It really does help to turn bad experiences into something good. We'd never learn without pain. Overcoming fear is such a big part of that learning experience. In a lot of various ways, it makes you stronger.

Well put.

It really does help to turn bad experiences into something good.

This is the key right here. The ability to turn bad into good is the difference between being a victim of circumstances and being totally free to author your own life. It's so important, and yet we often just accept pain at face value and run away from what it's trying to teach us.

Yeah, it's perspective that stops you from living as a victim. Might not be able to stop the hardships, but you can change how you respond to it. I wish I'd learned that sooner in life. But I know now, and it helps a lot.
