With Learning, We Proceed

"With time the pain eases, the body recovers

and the brain figures out new ways to go on."

Federico Chini

Words can be like a physical slap across the face.  At first we are stunned, but as reality sinks in, the pain can become more emotional.  In time, we are distanced enough to perceive the lesson.

We do not have absolute control over life circumstances, but we have choice as to how we react.  Found within our responses, direction impacts results.  These choices direct the outcomes either in a positive or negative way.

When enough time has passed, we can turn around and view our pain from a different perspective.  We know we have made progress when we experience calm understanding rather than a need for angry revenge.  It is in learning that we can proceed.
