Have You Gotten to The Point Nothing Can Hurt You?

Without pain, there is no growth. With no growth, there is no change.

Do you know what’s funny? I used to tell my ex this all the time. There’s nothing else she can do to hurt me. She’s done it all. But guess what? She continued to lie.

In reality, that was anger and frustration speaking on my part. Because I was still hurt every time there was another lie. It’s just the cut that was already there was made a little deeper.

The question really is, why do you allow people or a single person to continue to hurt you?

There will be risks involved with every choice we make in life. Some will be very, very painful. Some will be our fault, some not, some 50/50; you get my drift.

I wouldn’t want to get to the point where “nothing” can hurt me. If you get to that point, all your vulnerabilities are gone, anger has set in, and that is a lonely life.

Without pain, there is no vulnerability. And with no vulnerability, there are no “real” connections with those worthy that were placed to be in your life.

Pain is a part of life. It’s something that happens inside of us, not really to us. And how we handle and process it is everything.

It is actually the leading guide in what direction your life will go.

The more life experience you get, the pain will get less, or at least it should. But don’t avoid it; just don’t willingly volunteer.
