“Suffering forces us to change. We don’t like to change and most of the time we fear it and fight it. We like to remain in emotionally familiar places even though sometimes those places are not healthy for us. On occasion, the suffering is so great that we have to give up. We surrender the old and begin anew. Often it is the pain we experience that leads us, not only to the different life, but a richer and more rewarding one.” -Dennis Wholey
