“If you run away from pain, you also run away from love.”
– Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
The moment you turn your back on something unwanted, you’re storing it deep in your subconscious. You’re not ignoring it. You’re just pushing it away. But you’re still focusing your subconscious mind on it. So the mind brings the pain back up. It attracts more of it back into your life by focusing more on it, making it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Why?
To prepare you for something miraculous. That’s when you turn toward your pain and acknowledge it. You listen. You heal. You love the pain, love yourself, and love everybody. So rather than running from pain, ask yourself, ‘what greater purpose am I being prepared for?’
Let your shadows become illuminated with your self love. Open that Pandora’s box within your soul. Let it all out. Purify the shit out of that pain! Love it and let it go. Surrender into a new you, not free of pain, but free of the burden that pain once carried. Everything serves a purpose, even pain. That purpose is to love. Thank you. It is done. It is done. It is done.
