People always do amazing things with their pain. I hate to admit this, because I don’t like to see people suffering, but I like meeting those that have suffered along their road, as I marvel in the strength and growth I see from before their pain. The neatest people in this world are the ones that dusted off the moments that broke them. I love meeting those people.
So is it really true? Can it be….that we SHOULD beg for adversity in lieu of serenity, in our lives? What have we really gained by not losing anything in our lives? We should never choose to audit “life’s course” on crushing spirits, and hearts, and hopes, and, maybe even, dreams.
Trust me when I tell you that the most interesting lives you’ll share a history with, or perhaps a breath with, will be the mended souls who, by all logic, shouldn’t even be alive and breathing. Yet against all the signs, against all the models, against all odds, here they are, right in the front row, beautifully broken yet resilient and universal. Those people, in those moments……are gifts.
Just you wait…..
Good things ☺
