Pain – An Ultimate Motivator

There are many things that drive us, push us to go to different places and do many things. One of the greatest contributors to the development of mankind is pain.

No one likes feeling pain. Some will go great lengths to avoid it like it’s something hideous or disgusting. Nonetheless, it’s important to feel this to know that you’re actually alive and breathing.

I’ve had my issues with pain this whole summer. On bad days, I’ve used it to whine and feel utterly miserable. On good days though, it made me focus and push myself in ways I never thought was possible.

These days, I’ve had this throbbing sensation in my neck that refused to go away even while I’m resting. I took this day to air out my frustrations and found it wasn’t very helpful.

I thought about music. Didn’t someone say music soothes the soul? Well, I found some music from Collective Soul in my music catalogue and listened.

Uncanny. The pain actually began to subside! Why didn’t I do this in the first place? That’s a very good question.

The Source of my Pain

I know where my pain’s coming from: it’s from not doing the things I wanted to get done. I know the solution; get those things done! Music is only a temporary measure. It’s time to get down to the root. I have some drawings to complete and articles to write for a project. I cutting them down.
