Suffering for the Sacred of It

How can suffering possibly be sacred?

It is sacred not for how it makes us feel but for what it has the power to reveal. Katie Masurek in her video below, The Purpose of Pain: Finding Meaning in Suffering illustrates this in her beautiful story of struggle and strength. As you watch Katie, we invite you to reflect on your own life. Below the video are four powerful questions to get you started.

Powerful Questions:

• What message do you have for the world that could only come from your experience of suffering?

• Where has suffering caused you to release some of your "shoulds" and fight more for what you believe you "must" do?

• What has suffering brought into focus?

• How do you hold on to what you've learned from past sufferings when faced with present challenges?
