Pain vs. Misery

At church on Christmas Eve, the following quote was diplayed during the sermon. It has somehow stuck with me... perhaps because I've been miserable lately?

"Pain is inevitable, but misery is optional."
Barbara Johnson
Could this be true? Is it optional?

In theory and in practice, misery IS optional. It's only one of many possible responses to pain. Easy to say, harder to accept.
