The Mindset Change That Will Help You Embrace pain
At some point on the road to success you must accept that you must embrace pain. Not the pain of injury, disease, and trauma. Although, at least one of those types of pain are likely as well.
I’m specifically talking about the pain of discipline, repetition, fatigue, boredom, and fear. You have no choice but to learn how to embrace these types of pain on the road to success.
If you are not there yet and continue to fight against pain instead of embracing it, consider this mindset change. Don’t view pain as a burden, view it as a blessing. Pain is not only part of the process, it is the process. It’s a fact that every person working to do something they’ve never done before faces pain.
The amount of pain you face is relatively the same as every other person seeking some definition of success. Pain is a universal human experience. The only difference between you and someone else is how you handle pain vs. how they handle pain.
Those who hate pain see it as their enemy. They despise it and fight against it. Those who learn to view pain as a blessing, embrace it and use it to get better. They take the pain and reframe it as a chance to challenge their limitations.
Change your mindset on pain by making pain your mindset.
