… we do not always like what is good for us in this world. —Eleanor Roosevelt—
Today will call each of us to make our particular contributions to the moment.There is no guarantee that we will enjoy every experience, but we can be certain each one of them will teach us something we’re ready to learn because “when the student is ready, the teacher appears.” Little reflection is necessary for us to realize that our most troubling times have generally been responsible for our greatest growth. Our achievements are always accompanied by periods of frustration, occasional loss of direction, even momentary despair because the actual results miss the mark of our hopes. However, the passage of time makes clear that these actual results benefit us far more than those we’d hoped for. Our personal vision is narrow and limiting. We can’t really imagine what’s in store for us. The most we can do is trust that our experiences have our best interests in tow.
I’ll remember: Today I’m a student and my experiences are my teachers.
