Avoidance prolongs pain. Shortcuts do not exist for meaningful challenges. You must face difficulty directly. Grief must be felt. Conflict must be addressed. Hard work must be done. There is no bypass. Resistance makes problems grow. Acceptance and action make them shrink. Going through is uncomfortable but liberating. On the other side is relief, growth, and freedom. Do not numb, distract, or avoid. Face it. Feel it. Work through it. The only way to resolve difficulty is to move through it completely. Shortcuts lead back to the same problem. Go through, and you are free. There is no other way.
May this message inspire you today and every day.
