Most people are afraid. They want to stop you from feeling the pain they feel because they never had the courage to do what they wamted in life. Friends, take calculated risk and enjoy the things that makes you happy :) Follow your heart and do what feels right for you, because thats living. Everything else is dying :)

There are many different types of pain. The experience of any of which can be beneficial to us or it can damage us, but the choice is ours. They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but this is only true if we make the conscious decision to be stronger; to learn from this experience and accept it instead of wishing it didn't happen. I agree that following our hearts is the best thing we can do, and not ever regretting doing so no matter the outcome. Namaste.

Yes, your right in everything you said. Pain is always normal. It can happen to anyone of us, anyone you think of. They say that suffering is optional. So instead of dwelling in pain, stand straight and laugh all the pain away. Happiness is a choice everyone can make. God Bless You :)

Taking risks and chances with life is what makes us better and more rounded people. If you are afraid to step up and take a risk from time to time then how can you be upset at your fate in life? I try to teach my kids that life is full of opportunities though some call them risks...if you relocate for a job and it does not work out - guess what? you can move back or move to another place. Life is not over. It could be the best move of your life so what's holding you back?
