THPL, a life of challenge, of opportunity of exploration – finding out how to expand our lives and get closer and closer to an ever improving sense of personal fulfillment. To get there though, requires something that most of us shy away from. It is the feeling of discomfort, pain, strain…..most times when we get close to the feeling of pain we back off, we retreat, we stop. It is at this moment, though, when we have the opportunity to push through, to embrace the pain and to get comfortable when it hurts. Yes, there are sometimes it should hurt, when we stretch ourselves or challenge ourselves and realize that we are indeed capable of way more than we realize, that the pain, the hurt, is not indeed bad, rather just part of the growing and improving process. So, give it some thought and put yourself in a position or situation that will hurt just enough…..

Loving life, when I embrace the pain.
