Everything will pass... (in the car)

This happened when I was driving today.
There is one memorable spot on one particular street. One cold winter night around 1:00 am I suddenly got a flat tire. Bad thing was I didn't have any road service I had to fix it myself but the road was kind of slope and I had a very hard, painful time. Then a man from the house near the spot came out and gave me help. It was still difficult and I had a very bad piercing headache I felt like I was going to pass out. Finally with the help of a police, and road service guy, I could change tire and released from the place. It was almost 4:00 am.
Whenever I drove through that spot, that memory comes back. As I was driving through that spot today, one thought came..."everything passes..."
When I was going through that situation, I felt like this was the worst kind of hell. It was so painful and almost hopeless. I felt "I never want to go through this again!" But, now I am passing through that spot, and I can just remember that experience as something memorable, I mean, I can look at that experience "objectively". Then, I was kind of shocked. In that very moment of hell, I thought I never want this experience. But the fact is that experience didn't last. It passed and became part of my memory. It doesn't give me the same pain anymore. So, I realized that every painful experience will not last. It will pass. Therefore, the most important thing is how I go through such moment--with what kind of attitude I am experiencing such moment becomes very important in a long run. Even in the midst of such experience, if I could still think "this is going to pass" and thus manage to avoid getting overwhelmed by the negative thinking/emotion and "enjoy" the event with peaceful, positive and loving attitude, then that will add another victorious memory into my life record. Our life becomes accumulation of such victorious moments, and with that I will eventually move into the life of eternity (and enjoy it forever).

Anyway, the conclusion I got so far is: Everything will pass. Every pain will not last. Therefore, it is so important to have a right attitude when I am in the midst of it. That's what determines the quality of my life.

I have to admit that a revelation can come not only in the bathroom, but also in the car.
