The suffering you’ve felt has been tremendous.
Your emotions have been picked apart, laughed at and trampled on.
The physical body that surrounds your broken soul is hurting and never can find comfort.
Suffering has forcibly become your new best friend, which isn’t the way it’s supposed to work.
Your world has become a monumental chaos. Stress is building day after day.
How can we possibly cope with this?
The future version of yourself needs the current one
If you are still alive thirty years from now, what will the end result be?
Who is that individual?
Will they be angry, depressed, bitter and sad?
Will they be full of bickering and complaints?
Will they hate the world and people because of the suffering they went through before?
How will they view the suffering you are facing right now?
Will they look back on the current stress and suffering you are going through now and know it was necessary to who they became or feel bitterness towards it?
The beauty of suffering is unmatched
Suffering is beautiful. Suffering is change.
Suffering will inevitably cause one to change. It changes our minds in incomprehensible ways.
Without your current pains, rather it be anxiety, depression, sickness, fear, overcoming hate, addiction, insecurity, heartbreak, injury, death from loved ones…you will not become the person you want to become. It takes more than simply wanting to be someone…it takes something called “experience” to achieve such a tremendous goal.
What do you honestly want to be 20, 30 or 40 years from now? a bitter, grumpy person who is obsessed with image, money and/or themselves…or someone who is seen as an angel to others…who people will look up to and need? Which one do you hope to become?
A Short supply of Angels in the world
The world has enough “cool” people. There are already enough rich people with “power”. There are enough people who obsess over validation and have fame. We already have Enough people who bully and hurt others for laughs and jokes.
There is an oversaturation of pride, hate, resent and “mind my own business”. Enough people who seek personal gain at the cost of other’s wellbeing.
There aren’t enough angels in the world. There aren’t enough people who lose their precious time for others. There aren’t enough people who seek to bring a light into others’ lives and give them hope. We are on a short supply of people who forget themselves to make people around them happier.
We lack enough of these angels, as they aren’t seen as cool, trendy or status symbols. They aren’t usually rich. Many go unnoticed, which isn’t glamourous or flamboyant. The journey to becoming an angel isn’t easy. It’s hard, and the life of an angel is the opposite of what society says it should be. Yet Angels are the happiest people, as they know content. They know it very well.
Angels are produced from suffering. Angels help others because they themselves felt tremendous pain in their lives at one point, allowing them to fully embrace empathy. Angels comprehend suffering, which gives them one of the most potent tools in reality to light up the lives of those around them. Angels rejected bitterness and hate when life got hard…instead using that suffering as fuel to bring light to others.
We are in desperate need of angels.
You are becoming an angel.
Smile through the suffering.
