Blunt Force Truth: Pain is the messenger. Excluding abuse, pain is what you experienced when you allowed your attachments to have power over you. You can’t get hurt unless you have allowed your feelings to have attachments! And you won’t be disappointed when you have expressed your freedom to allow yourself to let go of expectations. Attachments and expectations, when present, hold you back from your highest expression of who you are. Just imagine right now, what is the highest expression of you? Without attachment to outcome. And take notice of what you have allowed in the past up until now. How have they served you? Because you were initially gaining something from an attachment or expectation, so wouldn’t it feel better to receive your body’s message clearly when you just let go of that attachment? You no longer need pain to be your messenger then. And so it is.
