"Turn your wounds into wisdom."
Oprah Winfrey
Emotional wounds leave scars, but they are not as readily seen. We can display our broken arm or a terrible burn, but this is not true of emotional pain. When time is taken to painfully script the experience of our emotional wound, it is no longer a deep dark secret . Exposing it lessens the pressure of the wound.
As time passes, we can turn back the pages, viewing our experiences from a less emotional stance. Our scope of the situation broadens and we begin to observe how the experience has changed our way of thinking or our lifestyle.
When we view the experience with a wider lens, we are on the path to healing. When we no longer focus on just the pain, we begin to perceive divine intervention, personal growth and emotional healing. If we stand back, our hearts perceive the wisdom.
