In a curious way that phrase can result in calming your mind and spirit. Don't waste the pain - is a profound insight that pain was not given to be merely miserable with but to learn from it and let it motivate you to action.
History shows us that great strengths are discovered in the the depths of pain, not in the midst of joy. Let pain drive you to create, to be worthy of life. The greatest power we have is the power of choice. Choose happiness over unhappiness, positive over negative and not let it drive you into despair and bitterness.
