If you've weathered a difficult time, look for the ways you've become stronger and wiser.
Have you ever broken off a friendship or relationship with a special someone and thought you'd never fall in love again? When the next special someone came along, didn't you learn that when love ends, the world doesn't? Didn't this knowledge make you stronger and wiser? Perhaps you thought you'd never be able to make new friends if your parents moved the family to a new city, only to find yourself in no time with a whole new set of friends at your new school.
Each difficult experience in our lives can help us become wiser. When faced with a new challenge, ask yourself, "What can I learn from this?" What new perspective has this situation given me?" Take the treasure of this new perspective and let it be a great consolation prize, turning what may once have looked like a loss into a winning "jackpot" in your life.
So start learning from your mistakes today..
