Pain is temporary.

Don't feel awkward after reading this title, "Pain is temporary." All motivational speakers have their way of talking on this topic. I also have a different way to make you understand the importance of pain and how it becomes rewarding

later. I will be sharing examples from our real life and I can assure you that you will start loving and enjoying the pain as it's temporary. It's not permanent. So, without wasting too much of your time, let's start. Okay, let me ask you one question? How much do you love your mother and father? I know it's silly to ask you this question. Everyone does. What it has to do with pain? It does have a co-relation. Let's understand it. 

Our sweet, adorable mother is heaven for us. She can't be explained in words. At least, I just can't explain her in words. She was great, she is and she will. But have you ever thought that what level of pain she goes through while she carries us in her womb for 9 months? We don't understand. She sacrifices everything just to ensure that you should be safe and okay. She will go through bad pain but she will not take any medicines apart from prescribed medicines by the doctor during pregnancy. She takes care of herself because of you. She does whatever it takes to ensure your safety. Then the day comes when you take birth on this earth and cries out loud. She forgets all her pain because you came to her as a reward for the pain she took. Isn't that important for you that your existence in this world has been possible because of her. 

Let's not ignore father. Our Superhero, our Rambo, "The captain of the ship." Without him again, we are nothing. While your mother goes through pain your father also. He gets worried for your mother and you too. When you take birth, he is the happiest person on this earth because you and your mother both are safe. Just to take care of you and your mother, he sometimes, spend a sleepless night. 

Now you grow up slowly. Time for education. Your father does all the hard work to make sure you get a quality education because he sees his future in you. 

This pain is temporary because all your parents wanted you to come on this earth to fill their life with happiness. You were their reward. 

Let's take another example. My favorite, "Arnold Schwarzenegger."

   

I am sure that lost of us have heard or read about him. He is an Austrian-American actor, businessman, retired professional bodybuilder, and former politician. He did have lots of pain in his childhood. He took huge pain for his bodybuilding career and it the pain rewarded him as he won the title of Mr. Universe at the age of 20 and later on he became Mr. Olympia for 7 times. Not only he limits himself to bodybuilding, but he also got a chance to move to Hollywood and we must have seen many hit movies of him like Commando, Terminator, Predator, and many more.

Now the question comes that did they get in just a few days? few months? few years.

Our mothers get the biggest reward in few months when we take birth but the pain she goes through is of a different level. Similarly, If we will not take the pain, we'll not enjoy it, we'll never get the reward that we want to get. 

All the famous personalities like Sir Charlie Chaplin, Dhiru Bhai Ambani, Warren Buffett, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, etc. All of them have taken a hell of a lot of pain but in return, they got huge rewards. 

You will have to take the pain if you need to get the rewards. You work in an office and you travel 1-2 hrs in metro cities to commute to your office. You get the reward as your salary and promotion. Imagine, if you sit on a chair and think that everything should happen without even getting up from the chair? Will it be possible?

When you were a kid and you learned to ride a bicycle. Did you learn it in a day without falling on the ground or road or park? You did fall. You had pain. You ignored it and moved on and kept on learning to make balance while riding the bicycle. Finally, the day came, when your father didn't give you any support and you ride the cycle yourself. Wasn't that rewarding?

So, I would like to say that don't feel low if you are going through pain. It's temporary. Smile and be happy. Like after every night, morning comes the next day. Similarly, your pain will go off and you will be rewarded. 

Whenever you feel low just read this article or think about your first day when you ride your bicycle without any support and the pain you went through to achieve it. You'll see the pain is gone. 

All the best!

Moloy
