I like that quote a lot and I’ll tell you why. This quote doesn’t mean that life sucks, it says that we can handle a lot more than we think. Most people do everything they can to avoid pain – pain in the form of hunger, physical or emotion. But pain can be good. Pain stretches your muscles to be stronger, more flexible and quicker. Pain in the form of hunger makes you appreciate the fullness and to remove some of the mental fear of not enough. Emotional pain is the pain we feel from disappointment, loss, fear or anger.
So why am I thinking about this? I was wondering if I am too extreme sometimes. If doing a colon cleanse and the internal cleanse is just causing me pain. Couldn’t I just stick to my old, don’t drink alcohol in January? The answer is a big no. Because I like pain (highness) in the sense that I like to see what my body can do, how it feels and what is possible. I don’t want to let life sit on me. I want to climb up and live, exploring what is possible in me.
Respect your limits, but push them occasionally. You might be surprised how far you can go.
