Negative things that happen in life are “areas of opportunity “ for you to grow. Rejoice when diverse trails and temptations come, these are opportunities for growth. Many times we look at negative circumstances and play the blame game, but it’s when we understand that we are not victims of life but creators. That annoying family member, jealous co-worker, unfair leader,,, they all have one thing in common. They are activating feelings and emotions in you that were unseen. You can only deal with your internal issues when you can discern that they are there. The next time something rubs you the wrong way or raises intense emotions… PAUSE and realize this had more to do with you than it has to do with them. It’s about to be a NEW YEAR… let’s not repeat last year again. Pass the tests.
