We are all faced with possibilities in our lives. Too often though we label them as "problems" or "obstacles" and we don't use those situations as learning experiences but rather we treat them as negative experiences.What if everything that happened and happens to us is designed to assist us in waking up and stepping into our true purpose and potential? No matter the situation, no matter how difficult or painful, it is in your life to help you, not hinder you. When we approach life with that perspective, suddenly doors open, and we do get to go on a magic carpet ride, and see a whole new world. See if it isn't true for you. I dare you!

sorry if this sounds cliche but there's apparently a Chinese character for crisis that also means opportunity - sums up the idea well I think

I have been living with this mindset for many years. There are positive things in all things. We just need to look for them.

I already do this. When I'm facing a really tough time, I don't sit there and say, "Why me?", but rather, "What lesson am I to learn from this?" and also "What good can come of it?"

I find the answers this way...for I agree, all adversity is for us to learn something from and to help us on our journey. We are not human beings on a spiritual quest, but spiritual beings on a human quest. And yes, once I find the answer and accept the lesson, doors open and things get better.

I'll echo your dare for others to try it. It does work.

Yes, it takes a strong and special character to maintain a positive and hopeful outlook on life. To be able to put the past negative experiences of life in a box and bury it. Not to totally forget them but to learn from them and move on with a braveheart wine

I always believed that what the OP said is true. We walk the roads we walk to get to where we are suppose to be.

Sometimes we also walk right into the visible potholes. Second time down the path we might steer clear wave
