“This journey is a path of self-actualization. In having the courage to face our suffering—to endure it, to learn from it, to process it, to transcend it—we often find keys to living our lives in the most powerful way. As there is mastery in learning how to play the piano or perform any skill, there is mastery in learning how to live life well. And learning how to navigate life’s most turbulent moments is simply part of the journey. Few people emerge from the human experience unscathed. Yet we can often gain miraculous insights from our sadness, and avoiding the pain is avoiding the gain.”
Excerpt From: Williamson, Marianne. “Tears to Triumph.”
