Suffering comes from not acting on what you know you should do. When you see the same painful patterns repeat, you realize the discomfort itself is the signal to change your behavior. Self-observation reveals the link between inaction and pain.
When you see things as they are, you see a pattern inside you that's not creating well-being. Through experience of seeing it over and over and over again, it naturally develops because you realize the pain that you're creating and the pain that you're feeling is connected to the inaction or the lack of being a certain way. And so this is a natural motivation that arises from suffering. You ask yourself the question, what suffering am I experiencing most that I need to take a different action because I'm aware of it and I've been passive?
