“Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.”

• Khalil Gibran

Suffering has transformative properties.

We tend to avoid it as much as possible even though it’s necessary for growth.

We must go through trials and tribulations in order to gain wisdom and understanding.

There is no shortcut to acquiring these things.

They go hand in hand.

We must embrace life’s challenges, knowing that they are there for a purpose and that purpose is to help us grow in all areas of our lives. 

We will always come out on the other side a better person if we make a conscious decision to learn from our experiences.
