"Happy people know that from the most painful experiences come the most profound lessons." Dan Baker, author of What Happy People Know
It seems in life, does it not, that troubles come in groups. Fortunately, those are usually groups of small matters, but sometimes we are besieged by groupings of very big difficulties. When things seem to go awry, our coping skills are lessened; so that is the time to be particularly gentle with ourselves. I have found the above quote to be true. My greatest lessons came from the most painful experiences. Knowing that the experience has something to teach us can help us get through it. A lesson I am learning right now is the consequence of saying 'yes' to something without giving it sufficient thought. Although that seems like a small matter, it is actually a large one -- because it is part of a people-pleasing behavior. So, this time, I intend to learn the lesson and say 'yes' to only those things which make my heart sing.
