By Paulo Coelho
There are moments when troubles enter our lives
and we can do nothing to avoid them.
But they are there for a reason.
Only when we have overcome them
will we understand why they were there.

And then we know, that if it is always for us to improve, the meaning of suffering gets no sense anymore.
Gratefully.
“Mother Mary comes to me…;..there will be an answer…” –

Everything has its time and place ,troubles -gladness ..we do not see things sometimes when we are in it ourselves but we clearly understand later on why this or that happened, and become wiser ,stronger and more freedom from it when we understand it .

Life is full of little tests and each test we pass makes us feel better and closer to our goals…but to pass each test requires the skill of patience, peace and prayer.
Thank you for sharing great thoughts.
I absulately agree with you dear Paulo. I have experienced a very hard trouble, but that trouble gave me a person who has a wonderful, enchanted soul. Only our souls can touch each other, not our bodies,because of some reasons, but, this is more important than any other things, isn’t it?
Sincerely, Hilal
I agree, however I will add that one must have both the desire and the awareness to seek the understandings of the wherefores and whys.
Thank you for this inspiration. While many other blogs and news sites that I read focus on the negative, yours is one I can always count on for a bit of optimism to break up the gloom of the day.
At my workplace, we are anxiously awaiting news of layoffs which may happen in the next day or so. I went to your site hoping for something that would lift my spirit and help me to see things in a positive light, and I found it.
Yes..sometimes,
although not everything you really can explain or understand; some things are simply unexplainable; yes..they can teach you, fill you up with new, beautiful or bad experience, make you stronger, but they can also turn your world upside down….well, maybe that’s the reason…to change something around you or about you.
My friend ones told me that God gives us sometimes moments of craziness..just because.
