yes, it's scary to go through pain but the alternative is a wasted life.

Having been thru & continue to go thru all kinds of pain (physical, psychic, emotional, spiritual PAIN), a part of me must agree that change, strength, wisdom & growth all lie on the other side of it. Thus, the opposite of growth would be stagnation.

Besides, who wants to live a life where nothing ever grows, improves or changes for the better?


One.

I agree with you, Reggie. I tell that to my nephew all the time. He's 14, on the high school football team with dreams of winning the heisman one day, and playing for Oregon State, but he's lazy and doesn't want to do to work. I tell him all the time that he's gonna have to do to work in order to get he wants.
