On this plane, as humans, we are walking through time in a constant state of now. Along with this ride comes pain, failure, and hardship. We also have as our companions: love, pleasure, nature, and art. These may seem much better to our comfort-oriented selves, but you may see here that the first list is where you discover growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding Pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are\nmany types of pain in the human experience: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual,\nenergetic and beyond. Sometimes what manifests as physical pain roots itself in\nthe spiritual, energetic or emotional. It can have many sources. Let it make\nyou strong, not a victim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pushing\nagainst pain can make it grow. Running from pain can make it deafeningly loud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examine\npain, view pain, observe pain, breathe into pain and release it. Step back from\nit and see what it tells\/shows you. Investigate the emotions trapped in it, the\nmemories, the relationships, people and ideas. You may discover what holds you\nback so you can release and grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning from Failure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy the challenging fun of problem-solving instead of letting it drag you down. Don\u2019t obsess over what you did wrong. You already did it. There\u2019s nothing you can do to change your choice at that time. Use your \u201cmistakes\u201d as an opportunity for non-judgmental self-reflection. Use errors as an impetus for positive change. In most cases, if you move on, so will the others around you. Admit when you are wrong and move on. No one wants to see you flail. Learning is a life-long process of trial and error that is ever refining. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expectations and Disappointment<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You wouldn\u2019t be disappointed if you didn\u2019t have expectations in the first place. As they say: expectations are planned resentment. And where does that get you? Not very far, ever. If you find that you are disappointed in someone because their actions didn’t meet your expectations, remind yourself that you are not responsible for the choices that other people make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflect on Your Choices<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your life\nchoices may need some reviewing. Consider these ideas: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
