When you’re in the thick of one of life’s what the hells it can be hard to see any good that could come out of it. All you know is what needs to happen and nothing else really matters.
If you think about it…
I mean really think about it…
Almost everything important that you know about life stemmed from an uncomfortable experience.
For me, that encounter was communication. I’ve severed a few relationships over my mouth. It took me a long time to communicate effectively and I still struggle (depending on the situation), but each loss taught me something. I’m not saying that lesson was learned immediately or even a year later but eventually.
Eventually I got to the point where I realized it wasn’t them, it was me. I figured out that the world wasn’t going to end if I didn’t have the last word, and all energies don’t need to be matched.
And it’s okay.
Look at it this way, even a wedding cake has to go through some heat to be a beautiful masterpiece and we’re no different. It costs to be better. Sometimes it’s hard to tell, but we live through uncomfortable experiences because there’s better on the other side. Even when things look still, something is always moving under the surface. And any time you can pull positivity out of a bad situation…
…you just won.
