Do not consider painful what is good for you.
Meaning of the quote
The quote means that you should not think of something as bad or painful, even if it is actually good for you. Sometimes things that are good for us, like exercising or studying hard, may feel difficult or uncomfortable at first. But we shouldn't let that stop us from doing them, because in the end they will help us become healthier and smarter. The best things in life often require some effort or sacrifice, but that doesn't make them bad - it just means they are worth working for.
