The pain is the information.

The information is right there where the pain is. The pain is the signal of life, which tells the brain that we are alive and the mind that this is the focus of the solution.

A body at rest is at rest from everything and will find no confrontation from nature and obstruction from anything. It stays at rest, just there, with nothing being done and nothing is done to it. It remains stagnant through it all.

As long as the body is in motion then it is bound to find friction. That friction is information of something in movement and going through all the forces and hindrances of nature. The friction says to us this is something that is moving and bound to move.

The challenges we face in life come to us because we are alive and have chosen to be in motion rather than be a body at rest. Without the challenges we encounter on the way, we will be lost on the solution and right path to take.

As humans, most of the routes we will take in life will be from sheer hope and sometimes without solid reasoning and knowledge of the outcome.

Everyone hopes and believes that they know what they are doing and hope that their perceived outcome will be the exact result they will find when they are done with what they are doing but rarely do we come to such outcomes without some heavy wind redirecting our step.

Left to our understanding and hopes we will all end up at a point where we will never reach our highest peak. We hope for the best but without some demand and challenge from nature, we will settle for the bare minimum and refuse the advancement of our purpose.

We yearn for the highest of peaks but lack the discipline to reach that peak and that’s where the challenges of life come in useful.

The challenges and pain as I said earlier are the information and point of solution. The challenges build us up for the height that we perceive and hope we can reach someday. If life was simple then our ideas would be lazy and without substance.

As long as you have chosen to be more and deliver more into society then you are like a body in motion that is bound to meet friction. You can’t avoid this aspect of life because your growth heavily depends on the challenges you meet.

The pain you will encounter is your source of information and will tell you things that you need to work on to break out of that place of indecision, doubts, and laziness you have been facing when you were still body at rest.

When you realize that the challenges and pain you feel towards a mission are more of a blessing than a cause you will learn to embrace every purpose of it and learn how to use them to navigate life and prosper in your mission.

For people who have decided to be nothing and remain still in a position like a packed car without motion life might seem simple and you might even envy them and wish yours could be like that but don’t fall for the trap of that perception. These people are lacking one thing from life- the feedback of nature.

Life might be simple to the clueless but know that knowledge comes with a responsibility and those responsibilities make you follow the path where it seems like it is strenuous to survive each day. Use every feedback thrown by life from all the challenges and pain to rise to your full potential.
