Thought of the Day - October 4, 2011

From someone who spoke of great pain - Saint Bartholomew

“Many of us spend our whole lives running from feeling with the mistaken belief that you cannot bear the pain. But you have already borne the pain. What you have not done is feel all you are beyond the pain.”

There are some things in life you experience that make you believe you have reached your threshold for hurt.  You have convinced yourself that facing another painful thing will break you. So you avoid it. But avoiding pain takes effort. Avoiding your feelings takes work. And that constant work is your act of living in pain and remaining in pain for as long as you chose to avoid feeling that pain.

Have a free day!
