I can fully understand that it is difficult to see our challenges from a different angle. When I was young, growing up in Taiwan, I was constantly judged for the way I looked because of cultural beauty standards. I would never have imagined that one day I would stand on a big stage at TEDx in Albury, Australia, sharing the pain behind my story and helping people rebuild positive body image using the C.C.Within Model.
The past was once so painful that I wished I did not exist. Now, I could not be happier with the direction of my life. I still have days where things do not make sense and I feel frustrated, but I choose to see those moments differently now, instead of waiting for the future to realise that they were actually a blessing.
And I can confirm that this experience is not unique to me. I have spoken with friends who have also found meaning behind their suffering. If you are suffering, yes, it is painful right now and it is hard to know when it will end. But you still have a choice. Life situations are like a two-sided coin. You can choose to look at the negative side or the positive side. In the end, no matter which side you focus on, it is still the same coin.
