Pick Your Pain

Written by Gene Downing

“Growth is painful. So is staying stuck. Choose wisely.”

Let’s be honest, change hurts.

Leaving your comfort zone? That stings. Breaking old habits? That’s brutal. Leveling up when no one claps? That’s lonely.

But here’s what nobody tells you:

Staying stuck hurts too. It’s the pain of regret. The ache of watching time slip away. The frustration of knowing you could’ve, should’ve, didn’t.

So no matter what, you’re going to feel pain. But one kind of pain builds you. And the other kind buries you.

Growth pain is hard, but it leads somewhere:

– To self-respect

– To purpose

– To your bounce back

Stuck pain? It just loops. You repeat the same stories, same mistakes, same limits.

So ask yourself daily: Which pain am I choosing right now? And more importantly, who am I becoming because of it? Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. Growth is available.

Choose wisely. Choose movement.
