In order for deep personal transformation to take place, one must come to terms with pain; pain in the heart, pain in the body, pain in the mind, (maybe even a pain in the butt). Part of growth is understanding the pain that you feel that consumes so much of your daily exisitence. Once you are able to become familiar with your pain you can begin to go beyond each layer of resistance physically, emotionally, and psychologically, deep into your soul.
Since the psyche is often built upon the fear or avoidance of pain, it’s important to understand these deep seated fears. Once you are able to reach inside of yourself and understand your pain, your fears, and your personal blockages you can go beyond the cage that you keep yourself in, beyond the limitations you have set for yourself, you can experience true growth for your own personal goals, past anything you once thought was unimaginable.
There is no rule that says in any given moment you do not have a choice. You always have a choice. You can move past pain and fear into great achievement. Committing to yourself and your unconditional happiness is always a choice.
