Webster dictionary provides both the noun and verb definitions of the word "pain." It states the definition of it's noun, as a "localized or generalized unpleasant bodily sensation or complex of sensations that causes mild to severe physical discomfort and emotional distress and typically results from bodily disorder." Webster also, it states the definition of it's verb as to make suffer, or cause distress as to put in trouble or exertion." Simply put, pain signifies discomfort in all its form to the body and emotions.

Pain is a universal life experience for every human being. However, the way each human being experience pain is individual in different ways. Colonel Rawal in his 2024 article, "Understating Pain as a Catalyst for Growth" states that in the midst of the chaos of life lies a great opportunity for growth and change. Furthermore, he states that pain is an essential part of the human journey, acting as life's complex teacher. The law of pain is all about great management of bad life experiences.

The law of pain examines the importance of good and great management of bad life experiences. In this episode of Points of Leadership, continuing our discussion on Dr. John Maxwell's 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth , we dive into the chapter on law of pain. We begin with a quick overview of the law of pain, examine the universal experience and how pain can propel every human towards growth based on attitude and mindset.

Furthermore, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti, and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck- CEO of ReWorking Strategies LLC - a values-based company in Connecticut give a shoutout to the group at UTA that did a study on the law of design. Dr. Feyi and Mrs. Jaeck also discuss the different types of pain and thinking mindsets that can propel people towards life growth or lead to destruction. This episode concludes our discussion from the book on laws of growth.

Lastly, a Biblical view on pain is provided from John 16:33, where Jesus Christ encourages His disciples. It states, " I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace; in this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world!"
