“Everyone you meet has something valuable to teach you.”
This is so true! People may come into our lives for a season or a lifetime, but they always come into our lives for a reason. Even those who did not give me what I wanted always gave me what I needed, whether I realized it at the time or not. Sometimes what we see as a ‘let down’ is instead a push forward, a push towards a necessary change or growth. We should focus less on what someone did to us or didn’t do for us and more on how much we grew as a result of our experience with them. Some relationships are only meant to be temporary, but the lessons learned are meant to be permanent. Instead of focusing on how someone hurt us, we should focus on how they helped us. It is hard to do but worth it in the end. Think positive attitude, gratitude, glass half full. Focus on what did I get from this relationship besides the hurt or disappointment.
