What If Everything Was Something For Your Benefit?

We are not in a position in which we have nothing to work with. We already have capacities, talents, direction, missions, callings. – AbrahamĀ Maslow

What if everything that has happened to you, around you, for you, against you, was something you could use?

(It is.)

What if you grow find a way to grow from every experience? In some way, at some point?

(You can.)

What if no experience was wasted or useless? That you could get better, and wiser, and more loving each and every day?

(It’s possible.)

The only thing stopping you is your opinion of the events and yourself.
