Pain is unavoidable, but healing is a choice. Focusing on your pain blocks recovery, while emotional intelligence lets you manage big feelings and think clearly. Time heals wounds, but only if you stop picking at them.
Pain is inevitable. Healing is optional. No one's going to escape the experience of pain, but everybody won't get a chance to heal from that pain because they choose to focus on the pain. And it's really a simple choice, and it's the power of being able to look at things through the lens of emotional intelligence. Because when emotions are high, logic will be at its lowest. Think about anything that you've ever been through. As time went on, the pain of it became less and less intense because there's an old saying that says time heals all wounds unless you pick at them.
I was literally kicked off a Southwest flight before for being disrespectful.
