Real Misfortune

TODAY'S QUOTE:
"It is the Law that any difficulties that can come to you at any time, no matter what they are, must be exactly what you need most at the moment, to enable you to take the next step forward by overcoming them. The only real misfortune, the only real tragedy, comes when we suffer without learning the lesson."... Emmet Fox

Learning everything possible from any misfortune gives profound meaning to every ache and pain suffered while traveling from boarder-to-boarder through its barren landscape. Validation does not happen instantly, or without effort... but come it surely will; discover the hidden lessons and practice their almost magical equations then looking back is easily done with a sense of achievement. No matter the trial... if you embrace the natural flow and direct your attention deep inside, all answers are there.


Bad shit happens to us all, wallowing in the pain truly isn't necessary... or advisable in my estimation. Pay what it demands, but do your very best to not over tip; it won't do anything except multiply your suffering, without any added dividends. Once you give it its due then take a step back and regroup, looking closely at how it can be used to your advantage. Growth isn't pain free, so if you're suffering anyway what better use can your condition have than to be a vehicle for use to a higher road.

Early pioneers went through hell to cross vast landscapes to reach their goal, and I imagine it made the destination all the more precious. Some went blindly, not knowing what they would face, but most had enough information to fully realize what laid ahead. Astronaut's go through many years of grueling training before they ever reach the stars. Suffering is every humans birthright... but overcoming has the same inherent qualities; the only difference is the former comes to you without the asking, while the latter is something you have to actively seek. God bless, and as always... think about it... let it ride... then decide!!!
