It’s Not a Waste If You Learned Something

In life, sometimes our experiences can be disappointing, frustrating and downright traumatizing. We might find ourselves questioning what we did to “deserve” a situation we would rather not experience. We may think our efforts are fruitless and a waste of time. We might feel overwhelmed and lost in a fog unable to find our way to our path, peace and happiness. In those moments, it is important to mourn losses and deal with the pain. Then work through it by taking a step back to observe the circumstances and determine what can be learned, and how we can grow from the experience. It may not be pretty. It may not be what we wanted. But there is always something to be learned about ourselves, other people, the world, and life. Use whatever it is as a stone to step up and over to a better you. Accept. Learn. Grow.
