Take the pain and grow beauty... You know I've always loved volcanoes. I love how they spew searing, deadly lava that goes on to nurture the most beautiful landscapes on earth. It's from searing pain that the deepest beauty can sprout

About This Quote

When we're deeply wounded and in great pain, life feels like a frozen battle field. Deeply wounded people often feel like they need to keep hurting themselves until they get enough of the pain so it doesn't hurt so bad anymore. However, the truth is that the only way to get over deep pain is to get past it. Then, when it comes time for you to do something really beautiful, you'll be able to do it with ease and joy. You'll also be able to do what you've always dreamed of doing, and that's creating beauty from your own pain and wounds.
