Just yesterday morning I had surgery. Today, I am in that recovery phase where I feel as if I will always be sick and in pain.

For many of us, this happens in our life. We start to make a change and then realize it hurts more the day AFTER we made the cut than the day we made the choice. For many people this is the excuse they need to go back to the way it was.

Why? In two or three more days, I am going to feel better than I have felt in a long time. I had to cut away baggage that was holding me back. Some people need to do this as well.

Don’t let temporary pain blind you to the beauty that is ahead. Press on. Give yourself time to heal.
