Somewhere along the way we've gotten the message that the more we struggle and the more we suffer, the more valuable we will become and the more successful we'll eventually be. And so we overwork ourselves, overschedule ourselves, and become "busier than thou" because we think there's some sort of prize on the other side of the pain we cause ourselves. And you know what? There's no prize. All you get from suffering is more suffering. . Kate Northrup

We are not allowing ourselves to enjoy our life because of this belief that there is something after the pain. This quote also says that if you try to go through life without any pain, you will never be able to enjoy life. If you are always saving up all your bad things for the future, your future will never come.
