Pain is what the world inflicts upon us. Suffering is our emotional reaction when we fail to make the difficult conscious choice to choose Joy.

Much of your pain is self-chosen.

Everyone that burns has to learn from the pain.

No pain, no palm; no thorns, no throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no crown.

We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.

Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain.

Sometimes, tears are a sign of unspoken happiness.. and smile is a sign of silenced pain..
