I don't defend pain, But I do respect its ability to make us stronger and wiser after it stings.

About This Quote

I respect pain for what it is, a reminder that we have survived. Pain shakes us out of complacency and makes us realize how fragile our lives are. It stings because it is a reminder of what we have had to endure. It hurts because it is a constant reminder of our mortality.

But pain can also make us stronger and wiser if we don’t ignore it or let it get the best of us. Pain can be a teacher, a reminder that we must live life more fully and with greater appreciation.
