People enjoy rainbows, but sometimes they do not enjoy rain.

Oyster pearls are formed when an irritant, like a grain of sand, enters the oyster's shell, prompting the oyster to secrete layers of nacre to cover the irritant, ultimately creating a pearl. This process symbolizes how adversity can lead to beauty and resilience in life.



The oyster’s journey of pearl formation is a metaphor for overcoming adversity. Difficult situations can be the source of our greatest blessings and growth if we respond with courage and perseverance.



When confronted with a troubling situation mes we do not know what to do. In a situation like that I would like to remind people that more than likely the si

(continued) more than likely the situation is not going to end your life. I would suggest that people paint a mental picture of the best possible outcome and then ask themselves "what obstacles need to be rearranged so that the mental picture can become a reality?"



For example, lets look at a situation where a person needs to choose weather to keep a stuffed toy or an old lamp. If you can mentaly walk through your future house and not see that old lamp...well hang on to the stuffed animal!



I know that being in confusing situations can be pretty uncomfortable, but I want people to start view such situations like they are training sessions, since what does not kill you will only make you stronger.



Like it or not every situation that a person encounters has a part in shaping "who you will become". So if you loathe that situation that happened 20 y

(continued) that situation that happened 20 years ago that you are almost sure ruined your life...I would like to slightly disagree. The truth is that you must still be choosing to allow the situation to ruin your life.



I know a guy that was on track to be a very strong individual, but when the guy walked into a gym he saw all of the weights that needed to be lifted and the guy thought 'forget it, I am giving up on this business'



While the person is in the middle of the trial, then molehills look like mountains. But looking back, people should probably laugh at adversity.



Weather a situation is a stumbling block or is the situation a stepping stone that is largely dependent on the person!

I am told that the transformation from a catepillar to a butterfly is an uncomfortable process as well. Inside the cocoon, the insect struggles, then is transformed into a butterfly. A painful process the transformation. Who knows what unpleasant things transpire and train us into or what beauty comes of it?

Years ago I was given some advice that can be in this conversation,



'I dont know what to advise you to do but I can tell you this: whatever you decide to do is going to shape you into the man that you are going to become tomorrow.'
