Pain

I've never truly experienced excruciating pain. I tell myself I can deal with whatever comes in my way. However, the past few days, I was literally left in horrible pain. It's mostly physical, but it went straight to my brain. I thought I've been mentally impaired for a few moment. The pain was unbearable and I just wanted it to go away. I finally understood what pain feels like. 

Here's a few lessons learnt:

  • Pain demands to be felt (a quote from "The Fault in our Stars" by John Green).
  • Remember: this too will pass. Nothing lasts forever. 
  • When in pain, don't try to fight it. Instead, accept the pain. Embrace it before letting go.
  • Once you fully welcome the pain, it will slowly ease, leaving in peace. 
  • This situation is trying to tell you something- what is it?
  • What can you learn from this experience.

Everything happens for a reason. Pain is not a great feeling, but you can go through it.

Tiny steps

I admit, I lost track again. It's alright. We all do. Things happen. Stumbles are part of the journey. To get back to life, take tiny steps. 1 single action. The key is it doesn't have to be huge, only enough to get you started again.

Consistency

You've got to be consistent in whatever you do. To improve, learn, and be successful, you've got to be committed and consistently do what you must, in order to move in the direction of your dreams. Consistency will determine the value of your determination and how far you will get. Of course, it's not an easy task- to stay focus and not lose faith. Hang in there, 0.1% improvement is always better than zero. Over time it compounds and leads to unexpected results. Be driven by the system, by the action, by what it takes. Persevere and be consistent.

Gratitude

As this year comes to a close, I believe the most rewarding action to take is to list down all the things you are grateful for. It will be a gateway to reflect on all that happened during the year. It'll be an opportunity to unwind and see all the blessings you received. Sometimes what appears to be challenging and undesirable turned out to be a learning curve.  This is the time to be reminded of all the lessons learnt. Life has so much to teach us, but all lessons are learnt within and kept inside. Be aware that we have all that we need at any given time. I'm grateful for 2017 and all that it came with. Count your blessings.
