Choose Your Suffering Wisely
We all want to be successful in life, we all want to grow, we want to rise and become a better version of ourselves. But if we come to think of it, no matter how we try to avoid, life keeps reminding us of being uncomfortable. There is no greatness that does not come with suffering or pain. The question is whether you suffer.
What kind of suffering do you think can shape our future? A lot of success in our lives comes down to a simple skill, which is to choose the right kind of suffering. Not all pains are equal. Some pains are there to build you, some are there to drain you, some are there to destroy your life, some are there to upgrade your life. So when you understand this difference, then everything can change.
Imagine you just wake up in the morning, early morning to study or practice your skills, or you just plan your day. This can seem like a kind of hard work or labor, suffering, but it is uncomfortable, but it leads somewhere, it spares you back. It can build discipline. It looks like small today, but with time it becomes a reason that you are strong, confident and capable of yourself.
If on the other hand there are many sufferings, you swallow over time and energy, but it leaves you empty and destroyed, then it is just like arguing with negative people, chasing validation of people who don't care about your life or how you live, or staying in places that you are not upgrading. This can in turn be so exhausting to you. They make your business not better.
Life gives us strength every day. You should invest your energy in multiple ventures, not where it can disappear at any time.
The thing is that most people avoid sufferings that would help them to keep upgrading. They avoid that discomfort of learning new skills. They endure the misery. They avoid the pain of discipline. But they also accept the pain of regrets later, which they cannot escape.
If you want to be great in life, you must not avoid suffering. It is part of the journey. It comes to those who choose suffering to build that quality character, that vision and resilience, that discipline to keep pushing. So when you choose that path, life rewards you with strength, with normal opportunities.
Ask yourself is this suffering useful? Does it lead anywhere? Is it guiding you closer to God? So if the answer is yes, you can embrace it. Success is not just about working hard. It's about that suffering that you choose the right way.
