Life lessons. We are all on a very specific path, perfectly laid out for each and every one of us. What one person may consider minor, another may consider major, and what one person may have an easier time overcoming, another may have more difficulties. But each and every day, each experience, whether it be big or small, is to teach us a life lesson, to make us stronger, more compassionate, more helpful, more humble, more faithful.

Think back on your most difficult times. What did they teach you? How are you different because of them? How have they led you here? How will your life now be different? Those are the very answers to the questions that we often ask ourselves during these times. "Why me?" "Why now?" This is exactly why. You are slowly learning to be the YOU that you are destined to be.
Embrace the creation of something beautiful. A beautiful you.
