“It is an absolute human certainty that no one can know his own beauty or perceive a sense of his own worth until it has been reflected back to him in the mirror of another loving, caring human being.” ― John Joseph Powell
In life, pain is inevitable. Whether physical or mental, we all deal with pain on a daily basis. It's so hard to forget pain, but it's even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace. Sit with the pain until it passes, and you will be calmer for the next one. Adversity is the first path to truth. True self-discovery begins where your comfort zone ends. If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.
