Thought of the Day - March 23, 2012

From someone who said many great things - Luis Miguel

“I think we all wish we could erase some dark times in our lives. But all of life's experiences, bad and good, make you who you are. Erasing any of life's experiences would be a great mistake.”


There are so many experiences that cause us joy, elation and enormous amounts of happiness.  Unfortunately among the happy moments, sprinkles of pain exist.  They come and they hurt and that pain is often so profound that it stains our memory in overwhelming ways, causing us to believe the only way to feel better is to have never experienced that pain at all.  But experiences are what make up who we are and makes us great.  Erasing your experiences would fundamentally change who you have become as a result of those experiences.  The best thing you can do with all life experiences both powerful and painful, is use them as direction going forward to lead you towards things that bring you joy and away from things that cause you pain. 
 

Have a priceless day!
