#57: Joe Rogan Podcast & the Theory "Pain is Good"

On the Joe Rogan Podcast #1208 with guest Jordan Peterson, they discussed the idea that pain, for all intents and purposes is a GOOD thing. In fact, we need it to grow physically, emotionally, and intellectually. Pain is worth exploring because all of us experience pain. You may be going through it right now. Modern culture tends to avoid pain, hardship, and challenges. We often blame others. Some sedate through all types of physical and psychological pain. The avoidance of pain will at best lead to continued stagnation, and at worst, degradation into more intense levels of pain. Not all pain is equal. There is the pain of loss when someone dies, which requires a grieving process to emerge on the other side. This is different than say the pain of rejection, physical pain from disease, or trying to change your diet or kick an addiction.  However, all manifestations of pain (yes all), if approached properly will lead to growth. Where the mind goes, is how life goes. Perspective is everything. This podcast discusses how to get the proper perspective on pain, and why we should embrace a little pain and discomfort in life to catapult us to a better version of ourselves.
