GET PURPOSE OF LIFE BY EMBRACING PAIN
Pain is the great awakener. It’s our internal motivator for inner-change. Use the gift of pain to grow. If not, life will gladly give you constant reminders to do so. Of all the great myths of contemporary life, one of the most toxic is positivity. It says:
“There are negative and positive emotions, and only the positive ones are worth feeling, having, expressing.”
So to do something, first is to feel something.
When life gets tough, the tough get going.” This timeless proverb may be true for some but, for others, hardships can be too much to overcome. When the going gets tough, their life simply falls apart. What is it exactly that separates those who thrive regardless of adversity and those who don’t? Is it genetics, luck, or pure willpower?
“No Pain, No Gain”
The gift of anger is rebellion. The gift of disappoint is defiance. The gift of sadness is compassion. The gift of grief is love. This love is able to make you, turn you into a shape from the raw.
“Pain is the fuel of the passion-it energizes us with an intensity to change that we don’t normally possess”
My pain that I have endured was when I had to quit my BS honors in Management Sciences due to some financial crises. I felt so much pain at that time internally because I had to leave my dream university and department. At that time, I just thought that there is no purpose of my life further to do my study in business. I should do simple arts and sit in the home as I have also wasted my year as a failed student have to waste so I am also like a failed student (Although I got 84% marks). But that was a painful time for me. I was literally feeling the pain. But later, on the very next year when I applied by the enforcement of my father in the same university at another reputable department, and got my name in the very first admission list, I came to know my purpose of life. I came to know that may be Allah has just given me a lesson to not over rate something in the world as I didn't applied in this department when I just got admission in BS hons. I just may be over rated this field of Bachelors in Commerce (hons) though I did my inter in commerce too but I just didn’t applied there at that time and the very next year I only applied in this field. I came know that my purpose of life was to continue my career in the same field. If I was still doing BS then may be I had to face many difficulties in subjects, getting a good GPA, may be I just was not able to do conceptual study and much more.
So this failure gave me a lesson that never under rate or under estimate something in your life. Always try to give equal importance to every thing so that you get a chance to choose one from them and then it’s your choice to choose the right one.
I have learned from that pain that there is nothing in this world that can which can weak you to have that what you are destined for and what Allah has kept for you. We as human beings sometimes feel after facing some pain that we are dead, we are not able to do anything further but in actual, that pain is to give us courage, to make us realize that what is our actual goal. I am now able to face any kind of pain for my career like if I will have to work in my dream company even without stipend or some salary for sometime, I will do that just to gain experience, just top work in my dream company, just to fully take that opportunity which I wished for, for many years.
As my purpose of life was to continue my study in the same field of business and I was choosing another track.
