No matter what is happening in your life right now, TRUST that all is GOOD and unfolding in your BEST interests.
As hard as it may seem, pain, suffering, stress, and other difficulties are the admission tickets to the game of LIFE. But, at times, we cannot help but think that life would be so much more pleasant without the hassles - Right? But isn't it also TRUE that in a world without hurdles, there are no champions? And without rain, no rainbows? Isn't heat necessary to produce gold, pressure and polishing necessary to produce diamonds, and adversity necessary to produce CHARACTER?
Here's how Henry Ford expressed the same sentiment: "Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward."
Misfortune is an OPPORTUNITY to LIFT yourself to a HIGHER level - When an eagle believes her eaglets are large enough to learn how to fly, she begins to take apart the nest and push the eaglets out. After this rude awakening, the eaglets discover they have WINGS! They can FLY! The universe is constantly nudging us, pushing us off one cliff after another, in the HOPE that one day we, too, will DISCOVER our wings and SOAR to new heights.
Even under the worst circumstances, we can CHOOSE to focus on the POSITIVE rather than the negative. We need winter to APPRECIATE spring, rain to appreciate the sunshine, and adversity to be THANKFUL for the calm after the storm.
