I saw this quote from Lance Armstrong and thought it might helps us all realise that although the pain of loss is always there, that pain is like a flowing roller coaster. We have a choice…we can give into that pain, or we can fight it and use it as motivation for our future happiness. As Lance says

“Pain is temporary. It may last a minute or an hour, or a day, or a year but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quite it will last forever”

Erin Pavlina presents Are You Afraid to Be Rich? posted at Erin Pavlina’s Blog, saying, “Many years ago I had this odd mentality about money and wealth. I thought that rich people were all greedy, and that most of them had probably sold their soul to the devil in order to attain their wealth. I assumed that rich people were conniving miscreants who took advantage of others. I assumed that corporations were evil, because it seemed to me like they always used clever marketing and subliminal advertising to coerce people into buying their products. Rich people who inherited their wealth seemed lazy to me.”

Chris Edgar presents Transcending Your Boundaries posted at Purpose Power Coaching, saying, “I believe many of our fears stem from a misperception of ourselves as small and weak. We see ourselves as too fragile to deal with possible setbacks in our jobs, confrontations in our relationships, and so on. In my experience, one way to overcome this sense of frailty is to feel, on a physical level, the fact that you are much greater and stronger than you may think you are. In fact, as the visualization I’ll describe helps you see, in your essence you have no boundaries, and no problem arising in your life can truly harm you.”

However, I suggest, simply allowing that memoryless state to be for a little while can help us realize that, in our essence, we are separate from our memories. This realization helps liberate us from the stress caused by memories of painful events.”

I think the real tragedy is when we don’t use our bereavement to grow as a person, when we don’t use the loss of a loved one to think about our life. Our life is precious, we are mourning the loss of someone, we should understand the amazing nature of life…..so to prevent further tragedy we must find a purpose for our life. We need to think about how we want to make the most of our lives to benefit others, we need to think about how we want to make our life worthwhile…before we take our last breath as well.

In mourning let us see that we have been given that chance to make the most of each day we have, let’s not let the pain drain that motivation from us, lets ensure that from death comes a renewed vigour to making this world a better place.

“Seems I lost my my status quo.
I looked up one day, you were pulled away
now I ain’t got much to show.
Where you’ve gone to I don’t know,
But I can love you.

And if you love me I can hold on tight,
and if you love me I won’t fall off this ride.
And if you love me I can go anywhere.

So I will wait for you I swear.
The night feels like it’s unending,
but I don’t care.
And I will wait for you I swear.
The sun’s coming up in the morning
and I’ll be there.

Every step just makes me tired.
Every answer brings more questions.
Though I try to feel inspired,
I can’t change the way I’m wired,
but I can love you.

And if you love me you can heal my scars.
and if you love me I’ll move to the stars.
And if you love me I can bend but I won’t tear.

When it’s done we’re not alone–
the door opens on its own
and we will come home.”

I thought I would share this and hope that it helps you face the day.
