CLEAR ALL
There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they’re necessary to reach the places we’ve chosen to go.
There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands. You seek problems because you need their gifts.
It must happen to us all . . . we pack up what we’ve learned so far and leave the familiar behind. No fun, that shearing separation, but somewhere within, we must dimly know that saying goodbye to safety brings the only security we’ll ever know.
That’s what learning is, after all; not whether we lose the game, but how we lose and how we’ve changed because of it, and what we take away from it that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way is winning.
Bad things are not the worst things that an happen to us. Nothing is the worst thing that can happen to us.
Wrong turns are as important as right turns. More important, sometimes.
