A writing prompt from Journaling Further Within: 50 More Prompts for Self Exploration.
Sometimes the hardest times in our life turn out to be the biggest blessings.
Can you think of a time when you struggled
but are now thankful that everything happened the way it did?
Spend some time today looking back at your life.
Think of a hard time that you went through.
Can you now see anything good that came from it?
Were you able to learn any lessons from it?
Are you a better person somehow because of it?
Are you stronger? More sure of yourself? Wiser?
We all can grow from our past hurts and past experiences.
I believe that everything happens for a reason.
We can grow from and learn from each situation that comes into our lives.
Just like you, I have had some really hard moments in my life where at the time I truly couldn’t imagine them as a blessing. But having perspective can really change everything, can’t it?
Wouldn’t it be great if we could take that perspective and apply it to our lives while we were in a hard situation?
Instead of waiting until everything was healed and good again, what if we could look for the lessons while we were experiencing the difficult time? What if we stepped out of ourselves for a moment and looked to see how we might be able to learn and grow from this situation?
We can all turn struggles into blessings – we do it all of the time.
By changing our perspective and looking at each experience as a way to grow, the struggles become lessons instead of hardships.
Give it a try in your own life and see how it goes.
