Slogans about Pain

(We are more than happy to confront our fears – except for one little thing: if we didn’t have to confront pain. If we just could avoid pain, everything would be so simple.

As difficult as it sounds, we need pain in our lives. If we had everything going our way without struggles, I think that life would become an absolute bore.  

Unfortunately, the pain from our OCD (more like terror) can be overbearing at times.

Here are some words of wisdom encouraging us to confront our fears and bear the pain.

Be fearless. Have the courage to take risks. Go where there are no guarantees. Get out of your comfort zone even if it means being uncomfortable. The road less traveled is sometimes fraught with barricades, bumps, and uncharted terrain. But it is on that road where your character is truly tested.  Have the courage to accept that you’re not perfect, nothing is and no one is — and that’s OK. 

- Katie Couric
