Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Life deals more rigorously with some than others. — Lewis F. Presnall
How often we think about a friend, He sure is lucky! And probably just as often we say to ourselves, why did that happen to me? It’s not fair! The truth is, life isn’t always fair. We don’t all get the same experiences, the same lessons. But we each learn what we need to learn in order to fulfill our destiny.
We have to learn to trust. Maybe a bike gets stolen or a friend moves away. It’s not easy to accept such things as these, but we must all learn to understand and accept losses in our lives.
Perhaps we fail a test. The lesson we learn from this may be to study harder or to consider a different course of study in school. There are always reasons for why things happen, but we don’t have to know them.
Can I trust in the lessons of my failures today?
