Should I run from pain?

Adversity brings strength. When you feel pain, it’s almost always because you’re getting stronger or you’re learning. In the fog of war, it’s usually hard to see what you’re learning or how you’re being strengthened so be careful not to brush off all pain as a “stupid inconvenience” because it’s not immediately clear how you can learn from it.

When you're going through hell, sometimes it can be beneficial to stop and figure out why you got there so you don't have to keep running through it.

Don’t run from the scary things or the pain. When you run from pain, you wear the pain in your life in all you do.
