“One whose spirit and mental strength have been strengthened by sparring with a never-say-die attitude should find no challenge too great to handle.

A person like this can truly be said to have learned karate.” – Gichin Funakoshi
“Do you want a sign that you’re asleep? Here it is: you’re suffering. Suffering is a sign that you’re out of touch with the truth. Suffering is given to you that you might open your eyes to the truth, that you might understand that there’s falsehood somewhere, just as physical pain is given to you so you will understand that there is disease or illness somewhere. Suffering occurs when you clash with reality. When your illusions clash with reality, when your falsehoods clash with truth, then you have suffering. Otherwise there is no suffering.” – Anthony de Mello
“It’s hard to explain to someone who has no idea of the daily struggles you face. Feeling pain, feeling unwell, feeling awful om the inside whilst looking perfectly fine on the outside.

There are many forms – Chron’s, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Diabetes, Lupus, Fybromyalgia, MS, ME, Arthritis, Cancer, Heart Disease, Epilepsy, Autism, Alzheimer’s and the many other types of invisible illness coped with daily. Never judge what you don’t understand.”
“Sometimes, this disapproval of how you are managing your pain crosses over to disbelief that you are in as much pain as you say you are. They don’t believe that your pain is a legitimate enough reason to rest or nap or cry or take narcotic medications or not go to work or to go to the doctor. They might think that you are making too big of a deal out of it. They doubt the legitimacy of the pain itself. This kind of stigma is the source of the dreaded accusation that chronic pain is “all in your head.” It’s as if to say that you are making a mountain out of a molehill.” – Murray J. McAlister
