Don’t Run Away From Pain
You are what you are just by the result of your experiences. Realize this. The sooner you do, the sooner you’ll stop feeling that immense pain. The sooner you’ll stop seeing them as something ‘bad’. The sooner you’ll stop seeing yourself as unfortunate. And the sooner you’ll start living and appreciating everything that happens to you.

You get your heart broken; you struggle financially and are barely able to sustain yourself. You feel lonely and unwanted; your family members die unexpectedly. You lose that business or job you worked so hard for. You get diagnosed with an illness, you get injured, unable to do the activities you love.
And then you think, "Why is this happening to me? Why? I am good person, a hardworking person, an honest, kind, loving, and friendly human being. Why me?"
And then you think that you would like to eliminate from your life those painful experiences, those disgraceful moments; those mortifying circumstances. But wait a second.
In the words of Yogi Ramacharaka, “Have you ever stopped to think that if it were possible to eradicate these things, you would, of necessity, be forced to part with the experience and knowledge that has come to you from these occurrences?”
