The mere mention of the word “pain” often evokes fear and anxiety. We tend to associate pain with discomfort and automatically shy away from it, abandoning our heart’s desires. But what if we told you that pain is not something to be feared or avoided? In reality, pain serves as a vital feedback mechanism, signalling areas where adjustment is necessary.
Rethinking Pain: From Fear to Empowerment
Rather than viewing pain as an obstacle, consider it a transformative gift. This may seem counterintuitive but bear with us. Pain holds an underlying purpose, waiting to be uncovered when we courageously confront and embrace it.
The Power of Passion
Dealing with pain can be daunting, but reframing it as a gift ignites the passion needed to unravel its hidden purpose. Renowned motivational speaker Dr. Mike Murdock wisely advises, “Dig your well of blessing in the area where you are hurting the most.” Exceptional achievers leverage pain to birth a future-driven passion.
Unpacking Pain’s Dual Gifts
Pain accompanies two invaluable companions: passion and purpose. However, these treasures remain inaccessible until we wholeheartedly accept pain as a catalyst for growth.
Two Types of Passion
There are two forms of passion:
1. Borrowed passion (derived from external sources)
2. Birthed passion (arising from within, fueled by embracing pain)
Authentic purpose emerges when newfound passion is born from pain.
