Pain Principles To Learn And Overcome

By Paul Davis

Pain isn't always bad and negative as many think.

Here are some principles we can learn from pain.

1. Pain is a signal something is out of alignment.

Consider when a child breaks his arm. The pain clues him in to something out of alignment. He goes to the doctor to get it realigned and properly placed back in socket.

What is out of alignment in your life presently that is causing you great pain? Align yourself with your personal passion and purpose.

2. Internal pain, agony, and frustration indicate displeasure.

Pain in relationships enables us to recognize something is wrong and needs to be fixed. Displeasure, discontentment, and disappointment are all indicators that something needs to change.

How can you improve your relationships to get more peace and joy from them? Remember you get back what you put in. Be a giver and seek to serve people. As you do happiness will come back to you.

3. Pain in our professional life reveals something is out of order.

When you take a job you are not thrilled about, allow your employer to mistreat you, and under pay you it can be painful. Be bold about making changes in your professional life. What you tolerate will dominate and perpetuate your pain.

Be fearless about stepping out of your comfort zone and positioning yourself where you can find work you are passionate about. Passion propels your purpose. Where emotion goes, energy flows. Be passionate, purposeful, and productive.

4. Pain on a domestic scale can arise from lack of discipline and organization.

When you let your kids rule you and bow the minute they scream, you are in for a long and bumpy ride. Take charge of your house and discipline those under your roof. Practice self-control and implement an organizational methodology to ensure the maximum amount of peace and minimize your frustration.

Your home is your castle. Govern and rule it so you can be the prince of peace there.

5. Pain on a national scale can come from poor foreign policy and inadequate diplomacy.

Foolish foreign policy has led to countless loss of lives and billions of dollars being misappropriated unnecessarily. Inadequate and overlooked diplomacy has caused many offenses and been the birthing place of many wars. We as a nation must learn to communicate with world leaders before we seek to invade and dominate their people. Conflict resolution is far less costly and way more beneficial on the long-term.

6. Pain spiritually can come as a result of impatience and inactivity.

Let patience have its perfect work (James 1:4). You can't build Rome in a day. Slow down to the speed of life and practice deep breathing. Get a grip and check on your emotions. Emotional management and strategically planning your days will lead to far more productivity and less pain.

Don't blame God for your world, which you ultimately were intended to create. God gave mankind dominion (Genesis 1:26-27) and authority in the earth over the work of His hands (Psalm 8:6). Arise and take action. Faith without works is dead (James 2:26). As you put feet to your faith and go to work expect God to work with you doing what you cannot. You do your part and God will do His. As you initiate activity with the power within you, great things shall exceedingly be performed through you (Ephesians 3:20).

7. Pain causing undue pressure can come from conforming.

Many times we conform to our present surrounding culture to try to fit in, rather than happily be ourselves. Trying to conform and fit in is never comfortable, because there is always somebody else whom you can compare yourself with and make yourself unhappy. Parents conform to what their kids tell them their friends get, have, and can do. Spouses conform when they succumb to pressure to buy gifts, go on fancy vacations, and possess things which exceed their current budget.

Comparison leads to immense amounts of personal pressure. Be yourself and be content with your current situation. Don't yield to manipulation, accusation, and comparison.

Happiness is an inside job. Do your homework and process your pain.
