Think of every circumstance that you thought was the most challenging. Those moments that seemed to drag on forever. When you look back on them now, you realized that they were just moments in time…not permanent.

That moment in childhood when you were caught lying or cheating…how did that change you?

That moment when you were betrayed by a friend or lover…how did that change you?

The moment when you injured yourself doing something foolish…how did that change you?

There are challenging moments, but the point is that when you look back, it is not the challenge that defines the moment, but the lesson you took away from the challenge that defines that moment.

Time is the greatest teacher.
