Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

Just for the record; it's not life thats´cause us pain, pain in life is unavoidable. Life consist of pain, suffering, misfortunes and losses, but it's what we do to ourselves that makes us suffer. Not life itself. It's how we decide to meet those challenges and losses that will determine weather we choose to suffer or not, or fight back and become stronger. It's about which people we choose to surround us with. Ask yourself; do you really need this person in your life? Does this person makes your life happier or miserable? Does this person makes you stronger or does this person fight you back? Or break you down? You choose to surround yourself with certain types of people. Therefore, life and pain can be inevitable, but suffering is not. Suffering is and can be optional. It's up to you and it's your choice. Pain is inevitable, suffering is not.
