"What doesn’t kill you HURTS LIKE HELL."
– Barbara Ling
And you thought I’d say, makes you stronger, right? 🙂
That’s true too…but…the pain thru which you go should truly be honored as well.
Have you ever gone thru a challenging time that sears your soul with angst and agony? And even though you found yourself stronger for the experience,the scars it left truly never heal?
I’m actually okay with that, mind you. After all, a body scarred is a body that has seen challenges and opportunities and experiences the majority of the world never endured! Fact is, one of my favorite scars on my body is the almost-faded one on my right elbow – it resulted from karate sparring when I dared the sensei in question to GO AHEAD, KICK ME!
He did and I went literally flying backwards and embraced a rug burn soooo character-building, I bled for some time afterwards.
But you know something? I picked myself up right after that and flung myself back into the sparring. And I’m pretty certain not many 40-something year old women would do that!
The burn healed…but the scar is still there. And I cherish it. 🙂
Back to hurting like hell! Yes, I’m all for character-building experiences…but you should also honor the pain you experience as well. It’s always a hero’s journey and should never be shoved aside.
Enjoy,
Barbara Ling
