If you move past pain you find joy.

Pain is often difficult to deal with. Suffering in this world can seem unbearable. Sometimes it seems that the burdens of this life will never go away.

They always do though. Pain is a gift from the Creator that allows each of us to prove that we are worthy of finding joy. Suffering allows each of us to move up to the next level of mindful, spiritual, and fulfilling existence.

Only when you endure the pain, will you find the pleasure. When you fast each day, sometimes it seems unbearable. You are thirsty, you are hungry, you feel tired, or you feel weak. And yet, if you suffer through, you agonizingly wait for sundown, and then when you are surrounded by family and friends and you know that you did it. You survived, you made it!

You deserve to enjoy the cool lemonade, the savory lamb, and the crisp tangy vegetables. You have found the joy.

The same is true of all suffering and all pain. On the other side is joy. As long as you know this, you will always succeed.
