Maybe life isnât meant to be easy.â¨Maybe itâs meant to be experienced.
We often look at the painful chapters of our lives and wish they had never happened. The heartbreak. The betrayal. The mistakes. The moments we were naive, trusted the wrong person, stayed too long, or simply didnât know better.
But how could you have known what you had never learned?
There is a kind of wisdom that cannot be taught to you. You can read about it, hear someone speak about it, even understand it intellectually⌠but until you have lived it, you donât truly know it.
Some lessons can only become wisdom through experience.
And maybe that changes the way we look at the difficult parts of our lives.
Not as proof that life is against us.â¨Not as something that should have never happened.â¨But as experiences that showed us something we could not yet see.
I donât believe the point of being human is to somehow make it through life untouched.
I think we are here to live.
To love. To lose. To trust. To be disappointed. To make mistakes. To learn discernment. To fall down. To get back up. To discover who we are through all of it.
Perhaps the question isnât always,â¨âWhy did this happen to me?â
Sometimes the more powerful question is:
âWhat can I see now that I couldnât see before I lived through this?â
Because maybe that is where experience becomes wisdom. đŚ
