A life without challenges would be like going to school without lessons to learn. Challenges come not to depress or get you down; but to master, and to grow, and unfold your abilities. (Source) - www.pravsworld.com
Acknowledge that you failed, draw your lessons from it, and use it to your advantage to make sure it never happens again.
(Michael Johnson)
It seems like every time something perceived as
"bad" happens, many of us ask "why?"
A long time ago, I came to the conclusion that everything, good and bad, happens for a reason. Most of the time there is a lesson to be learned.
It doesn't always seem that way if you have followed my blog for any length of time. The dark side of me tends to go negative first, then slowly transcends to positive mode after analyzing the situation. There are times I will nearly drive myself crazy trying to figure out the reason, although there are not always specific reasons, just realizations of life that need to be learned.
Reactions to life circumstances are choices made by our God given gift of free will and intuition.
All of those choices make up our life.
