You should embrace suffering, not pain. If you're in pain it means something is wrong and you should stop, or you will hurt yourself and take longer to recover.

My perspective was Suffering causes pain, and there is a reason behind it, either you are weak to handle and take ownership so you want to run away from it.

Or either you are anxious and don't want something to let go of, embracing the pain is kind of accepting the situation and deciding to do something about it.

Progress = ( Pain / Suffering ) +_Reflection

Learnt from Ray Dalio, not my original thoughts.
