Stop the Pain

Life is hard, but we don't have to make it more difficult by neglecting to care for ourselves in the midst of the pressure. Suffering happens, whether it comes from inside or the outside.Suffering that results from the belief that depriving ourselves will ultimately get us what we want is a martyr's mentality. Stop waiting on someone else to work through your issues and solve your problems.Our pain will not stop when a rescuer comes, but when we take responsibility and stop our own pain. This is life. This is growth. This is okay.
