| Ten Lessons From Pain |
“There is
a difference in living a packed life and living a full life.”
~Celeste Cooper
There is always a lesson in adversity and living
with chronic pain and/or chronic illness is no exception. When I sit quietly
like the little wren, life’s messages whisper in the wind and fall upon my ear.
In these moments I find purpose in the choices I make.
Ten Lessons from
Pain
(1) Acceptance of what is.
(2)
Compassion for the less fortunate.
(3) Change is not a bad word.
(4) Humility is a virtue.
(5) Strength in not surrendering to stressors.
(6) Commitment to self and others.
(7) Flexibility to roll with the flow.
(8)
Appreciation for things we would otherwise take for granted.
(9) Empathy, we are on a level playing field.
(10)
Patience, our inbox is not supposed to be empty.
[Excerpt,
