Dr. Michael Beckwith is the visionary leader of the AGAPE Center in California. This statement he made gave me the realization of truth in my own life. If you are currently or have experienced PAIN in the past-did it help you?? I know I have had some PAIN that has caused me to change how I show up in the world. The PAIN I experienced made me do some things differently. I truly believe that PAIN can be a great motivator, however it can also be a PARALYZER. It can STOP you dead in your tracks. I’m sure that you can remember a time when you were in so much PAIN that you could not think straight. If I could give everyone I meet a gift-it would be to learn the lessons from your pain, your setback, your disappointments and your failures. If you truly learn the lessons from your misfortunes you can change your life. When you know that you are living from your vision-you have arrived. I want to wait up everyday and realize that I am moving from my VISION. To sum it up please know: PAIN PUSHES YOU UNTIL THE VISION PULLS YOU!
