Tuesday Tales: Strange Days Indeed

I just know something like this has happened to you too…

You twist your ankle, pull a muscle, or just keep dealing with that stubborn ache that just won’t quit.

You try the usual cures, the pain relievers, the afternoon naps, but nothing works.

The pain won’t go away.

So you look for something more.

You step out… leave home (figuratively or literally), leave  your comfort zone, searching for a cure, a reset, a way to get your old self back.

But instead, you find something different. Something unexpected.

Maybe it’s an idea or solution… some wisdom from a surprising source that reveals a strength you didn’t know you had.

That’s the funny thing about pain. We think it can break us, but pain can be the first crack where light gets in.

It’s what opens the door to transformation.

Think about that fictional surgeon whose magnificent, skilled hands were taken from him. The pain… way beyond the physical… started to consume him, leading him to a long, difficulty journey that led him to a universe of new possibilities.

So maybe you’ve never trained with mystics in the mountains of Nepal, but:

But have you ever been forced to find meaning, even redefine yourself… after losing something that once defined you?

When a setback became your doorway to strength?

When you stopped chasing a quick (or even not-so-quick) fix and started becoming whole?

That’s your origin story beginning to reveal itself.

Take a moment and think about it: What part of your own story started with trauma, with injury (physical, emotional, ethical, moral) but eventually to growth?
