Focus of the Learning

Focus on the Learning

Yes, you can learn and find strength from anything that happens to you, just as the heroes mentioned above have done. I certainly learned from and found strength as a result of my own experiences with cancer and divorce. If you see ALL situations in life as a way of learning and growing, it helps you let go of your need for things to be a certain way.



  • War = a way of learning
  • Peace = a way of learning
  • Illness = a way of learning
  • Health = a way of learning
  • Poverty = a way of learning
  • Wealth = a way of learning
  • Depression = a way of learning
  • Joy = a way of learning

So despite what is happening in your life and in the world, constantly remind yourself "I can learn from this." When you can see the opportunities inherent in all situations, good or bad, it truly helps you embrace all the uncertainty in your life.
