Suffering
Sometimes people do
not suffer from what has happened to them; they suffer from worrying about what
might happen in the future. There’s a saying: pain is inevitable, but suffering
is optional. While we cannot control inevitable physical pain, we can use our
mental strength to stop the internal suffering.
The mind is the most potent
production centre in the world. Great thoughts are generated, products are
developed, and unfortunately, crimes are also planned. Since we have such a robust
system that can generate thoughts capable of changing our lives and promoting
happiness, why should we misuse it by allowing ourselves to worry and suffer?
Those who recognise
the power of the mind use it for their well-being. They convert adversities
into challenges, transform pain into gain, and cultivate an optimistic approach
to life. Ask yourself, what is your current suffering, and why are you
suffering? Identify how this suffering is affecting your present and your
health. If you find that suffering is causing you to lose your present moment
and your well-being, remind yourself that it is not worth it.
Every day is a new
opportunity. Some days bring smiles within us, while others help us strengthen
ourselves. Those challenging days can build resilience; let’s not waste them by
suffering internally.
