The Hidden Gift Of Suffering: How To Navigate Life’s Karmic Challenges
A Soul Agreement To Experience Karmic Lessons
“So other people hurt me? That’s their problem. Their character and actions are not mine. What is done to me is ordained by nature, what I do by my own.” — Marcus Aurelius
We have all, at some point, found ourselves in the grip of emotional pain, whether it was inflicted by a family member, friend, colleague, or romantic partner. This is a shared human experience, a journey through sadness, rejection, anger, and similar emotions. The weight of this hurt can be overwhelming, and its echoes can reverberate through our lives for a significant period.
But we can learn a lot from our pain, and I don’t mean becoming more resilient but softening in those once rigid parts.
For instance:
- Becoming more compassionate
- Developing a kinder perspective
- Understanding the root causes of others’ pain
It may not be the message you want to hear, particularly if someone has hurt you recently. Nevertheless, people who hurt us do so because of the pain they carry.
