Just lately read a book by Jim Butcher called 'White Night' and it had a passage in it that I really liked and decided to share. It is really so simple but sometimes I guess we forget it ...
"... Everyone is down on pain, because they forget something important about it: Pain is for the living. Only the dead don't feel it. Pain is part of life. Sometimes it's a big part, and sometimes it isn't,but either way,it's part of the big puzzle, the deep music, the great game. Pain does two things: It teaches you, tells you that you're alive. Then it passes away and leaves yo changed. It leaves you wiser, sometimes. Sometimes it leaves you stronger. Either way, pain leaves its mark, and everything important that will ever happen to you in life is going to involve it in one degree or another. ..."
You hurt. You recover. You move on.
