“Pain happens, but suffering is optional. When pain comes, make use of the experience, but do not wallow in it. When you accidentally place your finger in a flame, it is supposed to hurt just long enough for you to pull it out. If you think there is value in keeping it there, you will be a crispy critter.

Get the message and then get on with your life, which is far more about joy than sorrow.” IfsThinkingLongEnoughUseHappensPainJoySufferingValuesHurtSorrowElementsMessagesFingersFlamesMinorsOptionalCrittersElements Of Life Author:Alan Cohen
