Growing Pains

 Growing Pains

Children experience significant pain when they start to roll over, sit up, speak their first words, stand, and walk. It's called growing pains. But it's not just babies who go through growing pains. Even as adults, we experience pain when we break up with someone we love, fail an exam in college, fail a job interview, feel betrayed by a close friend, or face business failures. It's all part of the process of gaining experiences and insights that allow us to live life more gracefully. As long as we don't give up on life, that is. When, in the face of difficulty, you find yourself saying, "That's just the way life is..." with a smile, you've probably reached at least the third level of expertise. There's a saying, "You die when you stop growing." Even Confucius was scolded by Laozi. Has anyone succeeded without experiencing pain? How about Jesus, or Buddha?
