Persistent problems, however unpleasant they may seem, contain the unprocessed and unexamined thoughts and feelings that, if left alone, keep you from your greatness. That’s why the pain, emptiness, and longing you feel can be your greatest gift–it can motivate you to examine parts of yourself that have been overlooked, forgotten, or hidden.
