A personal story by the community member Cecilia Lucio.
Painful experiences, strokes of fate, hurt – we all know them.
Often we want to avoid this pain. And when we experience it, we ask ourselves what we did wrong to deserve it or when it will finally stop.
But as we look back, it usually have been the most unpleasant experiences that have brought us to where we are today.
The strokes of fate and the hurt that we experience are the ones that make us stronger and challenge us to grow or change.
In fact, it´s not about how painful an experience is. It’s about what we learn from these experiences and how we grow out of them.
My most painful experiences – and I can say this with certainty – have been my best!
Otherwise I would never have walked the path back to myself. And then I also would never have discovered the infinite source of love, happiness and strength within myself.
My life changed that moment I started asking myself the following question whenever I experience a painful experience:
How can I make this to the best thing that has ever happened to me?
