Challenge and Wisdom

 


"Difficulty brings lessons and learning brings wisdom."
Moon Hawk

Difficulty unexpectedly invades our lives. We are assaulted and unprepared. Response is delayed as we are frozen in emotions interlaced with fear.  Anger at the situation further misleads us as does blame and judgment.  We did not ever consider that such a predicament would ever confront us, and yet it did.

Throughout life, time teaches us that we are never completely prepared. What is of immediate importance is to not judge our situation or focus on blame. We must ask our lovely selves, "What am I to learn?" Difficult situations challenge us to become more creative with our physical and spiritual development.

It is through hindsight that we realize how a challenging situation made us aware of the need for change. Difficulty calls us into action, out of complacent living. In the conclusion, we notice the wisdom and feel the desire to incorporate it into a new way of treating others as well as ourselves.
