Let Go of the Pain

You don't have to hold on to the pain, to hold on to the memory.

Janet JacksonMay 16 1966

So many of us are unable to let go of the pain that is a part of our past. Whether through our dreams or through thoughts that randomly filter through our brain evoked by a song, a smell, or a photograph we have the power to let go of the pain.


In almost every situation that we encounter that was painful around us was also good things that gave us hope. Even if the only good is looking back and saying I made it through that therefore I can make it through anything. There is always a balm that can heal the pain and allow us to enshrine and create a sacrifice to our pain on the altar of growth.


Another excellent way to release the pain, is to take what we have learned from our lives and use it to help others. I don’t think anyone is a greater example of that than Oprah Winfrey who was molested as a child and has used her public platform to fight child molestation and to put offenders behind bars and to face the reality that we can heal and move forward.


You will not usually find an activist on the smallest level or the most public level that has not taken pain and transformed it into action so that others could be healed and thus finding healing for themselves.


Whether you are angry, depressed or even physically ill because of incidents of your past, the sooner you can turn the focus away from the pain inside to helping others outside of self, you will find the path to recovery.


Today, wrap your pain in healing love and your memories will become lessons and guides to finding an empowerment for you and for others.
