Several, years, ago, I had to 'get good', with, some, significant, changes, that, occurred in my personal-life, regarding, my personal-health. It, certainly, wasn't, easy, and, coming to a place of acceptance, required a, great, deal of effort, on my behalf. Believe me, when I tell you...there were some, VERY, dark-moments, throughout the process of 'finding peace', within my Spirit, and, 'figuring out', WHY, these, difficulties had 'darkened my door'. I am not naive, and, I, do, most, especially, these days, understand that ALL persons, at one time or another, struggle with the 'sufferings' of life; these, coming in a variety of 'shapes and sizes'. No, one, person, is immune to, or, can escape from, the 'curve-balls', which, life throws at us, from time to time. This is where Faith plays a role, at least, it did, for me. This Faith, I refer to is the 'acceptance' of there existing a 'Greater-Good', in the Universe, and, an ultimate, reason, behind the, often, less than understood, obstacles, we must face, at times, with, the 'bottom-line' being, that, we, at least, attempt to see 'the lesson', which, can come from our 'challenge(s)'. For, I believe, as expressed in a quote, I read, earlier, today, that, 'The BEST teacher one can have is the last hardship he or she has suffered.' This, mayn't be verbatim, but, you get the gist of it. Today, I am 'at peace' with my, 'difficulties', my life, and, myself. And, as per, another, quote I, recently, read, this, rendition, a bit, out of context, 'Success IS going to bed each, night, with a soul that is at peace.' And, let me tell ya'...there ain't nuthin' else like it! Just Sayin'...
