You
were always stronger than your fear and pain by Bryant McGill
There
is an intelligent healing process inside of you that knows how to absorb pain
and transform it into wisdom. But to heal, you have to give yourself to the
pain. You cannot avoid facing yourself your whole life. If you avoid your
truthful emotions and pain you will implode and contract into a diminished and
feeble state. Growth and empowerment requires reflection and facing the
frightening, ugly, hard and unbearable reality. People are often clever masters
at fooling themselves and not seeing the obvious right in front of them. One of
the fastest ways to move through your pain is to get a grip on reality. Real
transformation requires real honesty. If you want to move forward — get real
with yourself!
Crisis
is what suppressed pain looks like; it always comes to the surface. It shakes
you into reflection and healing. When you are avoiding your pain you are really
only avoiding your growth. Get up in your pain's face eyeball to eyeball and
say, "I'm not afraid of you!" The biggest liar you will ever meet is
yourself. It is amazing the lies we tell ourselves because of fear. Stop your
lying-mind dead in its tracks; no more running in frantic circles of
nonsensical denial. No more blaming. No more neglecting. No more dodging and
running. Suck it up. Swallow it. The only end to your pain is through fully
consuming it and digesting it, otherwise it will consume you. When you face
your fears in the light of openness and honesty they will vanish. We carry many
of these dark fears inside of us; frightening forms of mental obstacles that
cast shadows on every beautiful possibility.
It
is tragic the way fearful people put all of their fears and insecurities into
others; the way they strangle their dreams — often in the name of love. Some
people run from pain their whole lives, and what pain they do not digest they
inflict upon others. You can't run from your pain forever. Avoiding pain causes
endless suffering for you and others. Avoiding pain is really selfishness. When
you face your pain you will discover you were always stronger than your pain.
Your pain was always a fraud; appearing inescapable, insurmountable and even
necessary and a friend. The time has come to say goodbye to the afflictions you
have been carrying, nurturing, protecting and empowering. When you truly face
your pain you will only see yourself. Your fear was always you. Fear is a
prison where you are the jailer. Free yourself! Anything you want is just
beyond your fear. Your healing hour has arrived the moment you decide to live
fully and powerfully. That moment is now.
