NOTE

The Reversal of Desire

Reversing the desire to avoid pain transforms our relationship with discomfort and fear. Traditional psychology mistakenly emphasizes understanding the origins of problems as a means to resolve them, but this approach is ineffective. Instead, confronting pain is essential for progress. Individuals often avoid tasks due to the discomfort and uncertainty involved, but acknowledging that pain is a natural aspect of life allows for movement toward goals. When one shifts focus from avoiding pain to embracing it, an unexpected sense of freedom and excitement arises. This transformative perspective allows individuals to see that confronting pain diminishes its hold rather than intensifying it, leading to a more empowered and fulfilling life experience.
