No two stories are the same no matter how alike they seem. Everyone has their own version, but it is always easier to paint the whole world based on what you are familiar with. Whether you think your pain is worse or lighter, at the end of the day, pain is pain.
The one thing I have learnt over and over again is that not every pain is unbearable. They say, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” Based on others’ success stories, you too will be expected to pull through despite the pain.
When your story is told one day, your pain can be remembered as a source of motivation not a breaking point. I guess the strength to endure the pain is motivated by knowing that it will transform you into a better person.
This is the secret behind most success stories. Because you are not the first person to have walked that particular road before, those who are familiar with that road know that no matter how hard and painful it gets, they will not give up because they are determined that this pain and hardship will not rob them of their destiny.
Reference is often made to the gold purification process and the fact that gold has to go through fire to reach its most desired state. Use this to motivate you to endure that pain every step of the way. Absorb as much heat as you can now. It might not get better when you expect it to, the temperature is hot right now, but how you handle it will determine how your story ends.
