PAIN IS TEMPORARY

Pain is not an exclusive phenomenon, it is a universal experience that hits every human regardless of class, status, level, or any societal ranking metrics. Pain tests our limits, shakes our resolve, and sometimes makes us question our strength. The weak succumbs to it, but the resilient rises above it. In every moment of suffering there is one thing that is true and fundamental, pain does not last forever, it is temporary.

Be it physical pain, emotional heartbreak, or the crushing weight of a failed venture, no pain lasts forever. The body will eventually heal, the heart will mend, the mind will adapt, and what feels unbearable today will one day become a memory that leaves you with a lesson, a scar, or even a source of strength.

There can be no triumph without struggle, there is no gain without pain. The most remarkable success stories, the greatest triumphs ever experienced by men, have been through tough struggles, and sometimes unbearable pain. Sometimes, they are not the ones who got to the finish line first, they are not the ones who got the best results; but the ones who got to the finish line when they were not expected to, they finished the task, even when all the odds were against them.

We must understand that everything that begins must end. When we are in the midst of suffering, difficulties, and challenges, it is easy to believe that the suffering will never end, but like a storm, it will surely pass. The sun will rise again, and when it does, we will look back not with regret, but with pride at having endured, and having been resilient in the face of hardship. Pain is not a destroyer, it is a builder, as it comes, so will it go, and it will leave you a better person.

To a better you, Kamikun John.
