Unpleasant events present us with a choice: to view them as terrible misfortunes that tyrannize us into behaving/feeling a certain way, or see them as seeds for clarification, growth, and increased capability.

I think that sometimes we have to give ourselves grace to grieve when we are in difficult circumstances. Sometimes an event is so hard I can’t learn from it right away, and it takes a little bit of distance and sufficient time acknowledging the hurt I experienced to be able to reflect and benefit from the positive side effects that also could have come.
