The Lesson 04/13/2009
![]() Everyday, I'm grateful for those tough things in life that I have gone through. You have to look at things in a positive light. I have gone without. I have had no food, lights, money to pay rent, heat and was far from my family. It is in how you handle your difficulties. I had no lights so I lit candles. I had no heat so I bundled up and sang a song. I had no food and was sent a sandwich by a friend. I had no money to pay rent and the rent suddenly was paid by an anonymous stranger. Was I that bad off? No, because in my darkest moments of despair I was never alone. Do you appreciate the things that you have had to go without? I learned from being without. I learned that the light coming from that candle was far more beautiful than electricity. I learned that when I was cold the many blankets would keep me warm. I learned that someone did care if I ate. I learned that there are people in this world who I will never meet that are capable of acts of kindness. I learned that even though I had family, everything I had endured was to be a lesson. The biggest lesson I learned was that you have one thing in your life no one can take away and that is love. To love oneself as if you love a spouse or child is a lesson within itself. Be strong. You are learning. Don't miss the lessons that are being thrown at you because it will help you at a later date.
