Using Your Pain to Help Others

  [View Online]( INSPIRATION [Using Your Pain to Help Others]( You can channel your pain into helping others and spread a tide of curative energy throughout the world. Pain is a fact of being and one that permeates all of our lives to some degree. Since the hurt we feel may be a part of the experiences that have touched us most deeply, we often don’t want to let it go. It is easier to keep our pain, where it acts as a shield that shelters us from others and gives us an identity from which we can draw bitter strength. However, pain’s universality also can empower us to help others heal. You can channel your pain into transformative and healing love to help individuals on a one-to-one basis and spread a tide of curative energy throughout the world. The capacity to heal others evolves naturally within those who are ready to disassociate themselves from their pain identity. In fact, the simple decision to put aside the pain you have carried is what grants you the strength to redeem that pain through service. There are many ways to use the hurt you feel to help others. Your pain gives you a unique insight into the minds of people who have experienced trauma and heartache. You can draw from the wellspring of strength that allowed you to emerge on the other side of a painful experience and pass that strength to individuals still suffering from their wounds. You may be able to counsel individuals in need by showing them the coping methods that helped you survive. A kinship can develop with those you are trying to aid and comfort. Helping others can be a restorative experience that makes your own heart grow stronger. In channeling your pain into compassionate service and watching others recover, you may feel a sense of euphoria that leads to increased feelings of self-worth and optimism. Your courageous decision to reach out to others can be the best way to declare to yourself and the world that your pain didn’t defeat you. In fact, it helped you heal.
