I've thought long and hard on this, but I cannot seem to come up with an explanation. I am the oldest of three siblings, and all three of us face unique challenges in our lives. My brother deals with chronic pain -injury after injury. For myself, it is mainly extreme allergies and environmental sensitivities. My parents have always observed this phenomenon, but they have no real explanation. I've considered everything from a family curse to hereditary neg issues, neither of which I've ruled out. I have fixed a few issues I've faced with affirmations, but then new ones arise. It is almost as if some degree of physical discomfort is needed, for some reason. Would you simply call these things challenges? Should I just have faith that things are the way they are for a reason? Or are there actions I can take to get to the root of this?
