Pain as a Path to Peace

In my personal life, I have found the presence of deep and profound pain to be the greatest catalyst for uncovering peace. I know in this day of age when all the talk is about creating a �happy reality that attracts happy outcomes� this idea of pain being the greatest teacher may not be a popular thought. However, my life experience has proved that I become more at peace as I embrace the pain in my life with a passion and a commitment to go deep inside and to emerge beyond it to the other side of life and love.
Pain is most often associated with a loss of someone, something or some idea that we hold dear and that we find a piece of our identity tied to. When we lose that person, job, good health or whatever it is that brings a feeling of connection or importance or belonging, we lose a part of ourselves, unless we move through the loss and beyond it to a deep abiding sense of inner peace and connection to all.
