Life is full of experiences, both happy and sad. A lot of them are challenging. One of the most valuable lessons is that life is always about learning. Every experience, no matter how difficult, can offer an opportunity for growth and a life lesson. It’s easy to focus on the hurt when things go wrong, to get lost​ in feelings of anger, pain, disappointment, or frustration. But when we dwell on anger or hurt, we trap ourselves ​in a cycle of suffering. We relive the emotions that weigh us down. When we shift our focus to the lessons within the experience, we open ourselves to growth, wisdom, and forgiveness.

Every setback holds a lesson, whether it’s about patience, resilience, self-awareness, or forgiveness. When we focus on what we can learn, we change the painful moments into a perspective, which allows us to continue to become stronger and wiser. I know many many people have endured setbacks and trauma recently due to the horrible recent storm​s​, please know that I am praying for all of you. I pray for healing and comfort, and I know you have a difficult road ahead. ​

Love and blessings,

Paula
