Joy comes after pain

I recall a time in my early 20's when I visited a friend on the maternity ward of a hospital. I confess that I was totally ignorant then but do recall her saying "Never again will I have another child." I laugh at the thought now because she went on to have I do not know how many more children. This lady remind me that before experiencing joy and delight there is pain and agony.
Life is of such that we tend to be able to recall the bad things and forget the good things. In fact sometimes we are tempted to think that life is all about bad events happening. One of the good thing about life however is our ability to forget pain and hurt and move on. Many persons have realized that in clinging to hurt and seeking revenge they actually hurt more than the one on whom they seek revenge.
A glorious world of possibility lies before us and fortunately accessing those possibilities will come with pain but later we forget the pain as we relish in the pleasures of success. The joy that comes after enduring pain is not new but is the way that successful  people travel.
I encourage you to pursue your dreams in spite of the seeming obstacles that are in the way. You will discover that when you come upon the seeming obstacle it will disappear.
