Ever been excited to suffer? Me neither. Sorry for assuming your answer, but I’d imagine that suffering is the least sought out part of the human experience.

When does it become affective? When its towards growth.

Sure, I don’t look forward to the work, exhaustion, change of routine, hours learning, unlearning, and relearning. I never know if the outcome will move me forward but the alternative is stagnation.

I watch as people suffer to avoid the suffering. Irony I know, but that’s what happens when you fight your own nature.

Break open every wound, let it bleed and clot over. Watch yourself rebuild, even if it’s through your own suffering. I promise it eventually ends. It may take time, like planting an orchard. Just keep going and the trees will bear their fruits.
