If you’re suffering now, you don’t have to pretend it’s all good.

If you’re suffering now, you don’t have to pretend it’s all good.

I’m not sure what constitutes suffering. It’s an emotionally-charged word, but I think it can be too easily applied.

Your DVR not working is not suffering. Running out of mayonnaise and having to go to the store isn’t suffering.

Starving to death is suffering. Stage 4 cancer is suffering.

And a totally trashed relationship with no reconciliation on the horizon might be suffering.

The uneasy truth is that we all suffer. Every one of us. All of us. You aren’t exempt.
