The things that we go through in our lives teach us lessons for the betterment of the rest of our lives if we choose to learn from them. Pain makes us change, sometimes for good and sometimes the worse. In order to get over our addictions and faults in life we must endure pain most times to do so, but in the end if we fight through the pain that we experience and don't cave we will achieve the change in ourselves that we desire.

All of us have been hurt by someone that we hold dear to our heart, and if you haven't, don't fret because eventually, you will. This isn't a negative statement, but more of a realistic one, as humans by nature sometimes our own selfish desires outweigh the consequences of hurting someone that is close to us. In order to deal with the inevitable we must brace ourselves and keep our guard. Only let people in your life that you are willing to be hurt by, because anyone with an ounce of human blood in their body.

In our lives we meet people who we may only remember for five minutes, people we may only remember for five hours, people we may remember for 5 days, 5 months, 5 years, or even 5 lifetimes. When we make a bond with some people its as if that bond shapes and transforms us forever into something or someone we may never have been without meeting that person. Even when relationships end, some people have such lasting effects on our lives that years after our relationships with them end, we may still tend to think about them from time to time.

Speaking from experience, many times it is very convenient to be able to have a person to confide in and be able to tell any and everything to, at any given time, without them judging you. Though a friend like this may be exceptional, in the world we live in a friend like that may be hard to come by. Often times a friend like this will be someone you may have grew up with, or known for a long amount of time.

Sometimes secrets are like sores on top of our skin, swelling increasingly with every moment just waiting to pop. We have to relieve the pressure at some point or the pressure will be relieved on its own. We may think that secrets are necessary, but there is nothing like the freedom of being truthful. Not only does it ease the stress on your mind, but it will provide for an open clean slate in a relationship. Have something on your chest that you need to get off?

Determinant of the circumstance, a lot of times it is heavily beneficial for a person to keep a smile on their face, even though the emotional or physical pain that they are experiencing is weighing them down. For example, when a leader is wounded emotionally or physically it would greatly affect the morale of his/her followers if he/she were to stop leading and to change the focus of leading the group to accomplish a goal to stopping everyone's journey in order to complain about a newly arisen misfortune.

Pain is an intense sensation of feeling, stereotypically seen as causing distress and uncomfortable, whether it be physical or emotional. The joy of being human allows for us all to experience pain, and overcoming pain is one of life's biggest challenges. A lot of people fear pain, but don't realize that through their pain they grow a tremendous amount mentally, emotionally and physically.

For example, in order for a body builder to make massive gains in size and in strength it is imperative that their bodies be pushed to the limit, leaving them in pain during and after exercise, to acquire the most out of each workout. It takes years for a body builder to turn professional but all their pain and hard work pays off in the end if they push their selves hard enough. This example is synonymous with pain in a lot of different aspects of our lives. Without hard work, dedication, and of course some pain, all gains will be minimal, it takes going through pain to see how far you have come later on in life.
