Can we find healing through purpose?

The experience of pain is always unpleasant. For some people, recovering from that experience may seem impossible, but once we turn our pain into purpose and help others heal, we find relief from even the deepest pain.

When we are deeply wounded, we cannot understand why we had to be the one to experience such an event. But then, when we share our story to encourage others, to support others in a similar situation, and to help overcome their pain, we no longer see our wounds in the same way. Rather our wounds become the source of our strength we are able to help others heal.

You can't always control the causes of pain, but by turning your pain into healing for others, you can change the way you perceive your pain and bring relief to those who find it difficult to heal their wounds.
