“Pain is inevitable. Misery is optional.” Adage

Attitude is never more important than when dealing with the pains of life. A positive mindset, reflected in things like gratitude, or an enduring and overcoming spirit can determine if our pains cripple us or spur us to get our game face on. Abandon attitudes that lead to misery and refuse any temptation to ever feel sorry for yourself. Find joy in the struggle.

“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.” James 1 "Conversations Within” ts 8/2/2019
