We Can Do Hard Things
Overcoming Pain and Shame
The process of overcoming pain and shame involves shifting the perspective to see life's challenges as opportunities for growth and joy. By recognizing that all experiences serve the spirit, one gains more access to joy and stops fighting with life. Relaxing the body and allowing painful experiences to move through helps to release wounds and traumas, allowing natural energy of life, astonishment, joy, and wonder to flow. Overcoming shame involves understanding that the pain about the pain can be worse than the pain itself, and letting go of the stories that cause hurt and feelings of being alone. Ultimately, the choice lies between covering the entire world in leather to avoid pain or making oneself leather shoes, indicating the power to shape one's responses to life's challenges.
