Pain is inevitable, suffering is your choice.
I say that, often in a bid to avoid pain we suffer. How?
In an abusive relationship we continue to pull on & suffer, just for the fear of pain that the society would inflict on us, in the name of norms and culture. Likewise, in a broken relationship, many continue to suffer but not leave, for the fear of pain, that they would experience, in the absence of this partner, whom they love. Cutting the chord, feels painful and thus the suffering continues.
Does this apply even at work?
Yes, we often fear the transitional pain of changing jobs or the career path. Hence, we get stuck into the same profession or workplace and suffer!
However, in the event of extenuating barriers to such a change, the ideal position would be a humble reminder, for total acceptance of the situation and thus avoid suffering, even amidst pain.
In terms of spirituality, the attachment continues to be a source of suffering. Only if we are ready, to bear the pain of self reflection,awakening and evolution, the suffering would be gone, forever. Self transformation, on this journey towards self, is inevitable and thus the pain is inevitable, take it with a smile and get rid of suffering.
