Pick Your Pain

Every man will suffer.

But not every man will grow from it.

There is no escaping the reality of struggle.

Some people spend their lives trying to dodge it.

They avoid responsibility.

They chase comfort.

They try to hack their way around discipline.

But the man who avoids pain…

Doesn’t avoid pain.

He inherits a different kind:

—The pain of guilt

—The pain of missed purpose

—The pain of disappointment

There’s a reason joy feels distant when life is easy—

Because growth only happens under weight.

You’re going to suffer either way.

But one form of pain produces strength.

The other?

It just delays your collapse.

Pain is guaranteed.

The question is:

Will you suffer for nothing…

Or for something sacred?
