A Gift

What if it turned out that EVERY SINGLE thing we go through - every breath, every stop light, every stupid word out of someone's mouth, every change, every interaction, EVERY EXPERIENCE in life was actually a gift and not a trial? Would it make things different?

Would everything you experience change if you knew without any doubt that it was given to you as a gift towards your own, personal and very unique growing experience? Would those stupid words all of a sudden become something akin a prayer and that hateful interaction at work become a blessing and that person who abandoned you become a saint?

It's a curious phenomenon this, because the fact is that when you take something as a blessing or a prayer it actually loses any connection it might have had with anything negative. No matter what the situation, when you take it that way, it can't have anything against you and it all of a sudden has everything for you. And every experience truly does become a gift.

Life is fraught with enough friction, confusion, and general nuttiness to cause anyone pain and frustration - but what if...what if you looked at it with the eyes of someone who knew that it was all there to serve you and give you the strength and the power to rise into the greatness of who you really are?

If you had that opportunity to look at life that differently - would you take it? Really?

Blessings
