We can endure much more than we think we can; all human experience testifies to that. All we need to do is learn not to be afraid of pain. Grit your teeth and let it hurt. Don’t deny it, don’t be overwhelmed by it. It will not last forever. One day, the pain will be gone and you will still be there.

~Rabbi Harold S. Kushner

I ask again and again- how will I tend to my missteps?

inquiry for today~ and you my dear, how will you tend to yours?

care of the tiny trials…..

Blessings can appear in an unexpected form

and take time to reveal their true colours.

The heartbreak that paved the way for greater love.

The missed opportunity that prepared for a better one.

The failure that led to even greater success.

The rejection that opened the door to a more fulfilling path.

The setback that paved the way for a stronger comeback.

The mistake that led to a valuable lesson.

The obstacle that made way for a more creative solution.

The disappointment that led to a more satisfying outcome.

And the adversity that paved the way for greater strength and endurance.

And other times, they stem not from the situation itself

but from its ending

and the knowledge that we were strong enough to endure it.

~Tahlia Hunter
