Don't Become A Friend of Your Pain

The Gail Foley Show - Gabbin' With Gail Grows Your Business

What in the world does that mean? Well, it means we often find ourselves embracing the familiar, even if it's painful...because sometimes familiar is more comforting than being unsettled with a change. I speak from first hand experience having been in pain for 7 years and then when I found a remedy to free me from that pain, ironically, I found myself missing it. This totally freaked me out. How in the world could I possibly miss being in pain! Duh, it didn't make sense to me... And pain from depression is a similar 'friend' that attaches itself to you and although part of you wants out of the pain and debilitation of depression, it's far cozier in the world of familiar than trying to fight our way back. But I'm here to tell you that if you want to live life to the fullest and you make the decision to fight through your darkness of depression and pain, wherever it is coming from...be ready to release 'your friend', your long time companion and know this new feeling is a better friend and will encourage you to stay strong. Please share this life lesson with someone you care about. Hearing someone else's story has inspired me many times and maybe, just maybe someone you know needs to hear mine. And thank you, from the bottom of my heart for listening, today!
