Gain from your Pain

Self-acceptance comes from meeting life's challenges vigorously. Don't numb yourself to your trials and difficulties, nor build mental walls to exclude pain from your life. You will find peace not by trying to escape your problems, but by confronting them courageously. You will find peace not in denial, but in victory.

Pain and Gain, equal partners in our dance towards self discovery. May your moments of Gain far outweigh your learning. May we reach out to each other when someone falters, and be there without grudge when they encounter success. Because in that instant, their success is our celebration too.
