Spiritual Thinking

What experiences in life helped you grow the most?

I know this is a recurring theme with me but it’s just true.

At a time when I was lost and desperately sad and lonely, I was taught another way to live. It was a way that I realised I’d been familiar with since I was born. It felt right to me.

I’d like to name a life experience that helped me grow, but it’s just a fact that I can’t recall many pleasant experiences that have helped me.

Plus those that have been, such as the memories of my one and only girl’s holiday with what I thought was a dear and life long friend, are tainted by the fact that she was anything but. I still love the memories of that holiday, but wish she hadn’t been a part of it.

I’m neither moaning nor complaining, nor living in the past. Thanks to my training and the phenomenal support I have, this is just factually what happened. My past is just factually what happened.

It was in learning that even what’s supposed to be fantastic can be tainted by the attitudes and actions of others, that I crashed, and then turned to my very real relationship with my Spirit team for learning and healing.

So I guess that rather than go down under these experiences I used the knowledge that they were destroying me, and how, as a tool for positive, permanent, change.

I use negativity to tell me exactly what’s wrong and what I need to do about it. I don’t fear it I turn it into fuel for change.

There’s a lovely old English saying, that will probably translate into other languages and cultures, that I think sums me up:

I’ve learned to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.

Happy weekend
