There are two types of pain; one that hurt you, and one that changes who you are.

About This Quote

The pain that hurts you is something that can be learned from. If you tell yourself, “This hurts. I will not come back here again. I will choose a different path in life,” you can learn from the experience and grow from it.

The pain that changes who you are is one that cannot be changed or overcome. The pain of a broken heart, for instance, cannot be fixed by any amount of asking, “Why did this happen to me?” It cannot be fixed by any amount of therapy or medication. You have to learn from your pain and develop your character from it.
