Is Your Suffering “Smart” or “Stupid”?
There are two types of suffering in this crazy world of ours. “Stupid” suffering is repeating a lesson you’ve already learned and been through (usually over and over again.) “Smart” suffering is choosing something painful because you know that unknown knowledge of yourself is on the other side.
Are you currently engaged in stupid suffering, or smart suffering?
If you’re unconscious to where you’re working the energy of your life, you might be doomed to be making the same “mistakes” over and over again, caught in a cycle of repetitive “stupid” suffering. This can be uncomfortable, and will keep your energy stuck. Particularly if it’s a lesson that you’ve already learned, or if it’s something that you didn’t choose for yourself. You can be in “escape” mode all the time, trying to free yourself from the past.
If you’re conscious and aware of where you are CHOOSING to be working and living your life, you might actively engage in some “smart” suffering in order to get what you want. You might choose the harder road, the path less taken, because the rewards can be so great. Other people might look at you like you’re crazy! But on the other side, you’ll get to have the thing you want – be it self confidence, having more in your life, new information about yourself, or choosing something different.
Energy is a funny thing. Once you start taking steps towards the kind of “suffering” that appeals to you, each challenge you face moves you forward towards your goals, and it can really start to feel good. As they say – no pain, no gain. Just make sure that you’re choosing the pain that works for you and helps to move your further down your path.You’ll know cause it will engage your body, mind, and spirit. You’ll know because you’ll start to see and feel the effects all around you as it changes your energy and your reality.
