Chapter 2 - Positive Pain & Building Resilience

Like fire refining metal, pain purifies, distilling the essence of who we are and revealing depths unseen. Through pain, we must try to learn empathy’s tender touch, gratitude for joy, and the strength to rise again. Through the lens of suffering, we see life’s contrasts, its light and shadow, each moment teaching us that even in hurt, there is healing and, in struggle, profound beauty.
