as a young child, i HATED shots!
just the sight of the evil syringe that was chosen to penetrate my skin caused adrenaline to kick in, butterflies flood my stomach & many tears to flow from my eyes!
now, the needle didn't contain anything harmful or illegal. just a substance required by the school district so that i could advance to the next school grade...
my vaccination was absolutely essential if i desired to go to the 3rd grade... or middle school... or the all-mighty high school.

life has all sorts of needles that we'd like to avoid. and if we were told in advance what's to come, we might very well be reduced to a sobbing mess!
but the syringes of life are absolutely essential in getting us to the next stage, over that next hill or even the ability to scale what seems to be a mountain in our lives.
b-b-b-but will it hurt?
YEAH!
you'd better believe it will.
BUT! if you think about it.... in the grand scheme of things, the needles are a relatively brief ouchie to make us a little more stronger.
