KAIZEN FOR LIFE

The pain that you go through is simply a stepping stone to understanding the pain of others.

Whenever we are going through a painful experience, we can view it in many different ways. One way of viewing it could be that we are going through this pain in order to use our experience and knowledge of it to help others through similar pain. Or to give us a better understanding of another persons pain or even more broadly – the worlds pain. If we did not go through pain, we would develop empathy or sympathy, we would not grow or evolve, we would not learn and we would have a very narrow and naive view of world.

When experiencing pain it is important to remember that it is a part of human existence. It is not unique to you or unfair just to you. Every human on the earth will experience some form of pain and suffering – some more than others but we each experience something. It is naive to think that you do not deserve this pain. It is not about deserving. It is simply a fact of life and how we choose to view and deal with that pain is a test of who we are.
