When we don't acknowledge the duality of love, we tend to be crushed when plans don't work out, when people exit our lives and when dreams get put on hold. &quot;Pain in life is inevitable but suffering is not. Pain is what the world does to you, suffering is what you do to yourself [by the way you think about the 'pain' you receive]. Pain is certain, suffering is optional.&quot; -Buddha So when it comes to your own health and well-being, you are doing it because you love improving the quality of your life. With that said, you are expressing what is known as self-love. Taking care of “you” so that you can take care of loved ones. On this journey, you will face set-backs, obstacles and re-routing. It will be painful at times. You will feel like quitting.&amp;nbsp; We'll leave you with this thought inspired by Buddhists philosophy: Love is an ocean, it can be still like a lake or it can destroy everything it touches. Love is like a fight, you can walk away unscathed and fresh or hobble away battered and bruised. Love is dichotomy of joy and pain. But remember...pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
