The Best/Worst Week of my Life

The past year has been very eventful for me and full of challenges, but
last week was one of the most tumultuous. It started with my precious
bunny being killed in front of me and ended with a vicious cyber attack.
I still cannot get into my Hotmail account by the way (more about that
later).There were a few other bad things thrown in the mix, but they are
personal and I do not want to mention them here.

Ten years ago (or even maybe a year ago), I would have been convinced
that the world was out to get me and I would have shut down and fallen
into a deep depression. I would have easily declared it the worst week
of my life. I would have been dead wrong.

Not only was it NOT the worst week of my life, it was actually one of
the best. Yes, a few bad things happened, but they were all experiences
and each one would lead to a profound realization. As I wrote about
earlier in the week, my bunny’s death made me realize how much her
unconditional love healed me and has convinced me to once again open my
heart to love.

The cyber attack resulted in me being contacted by dozens of people;
some who I thought did not care about me anymore. These people made big
efforts to contact me and ensure that I was ok. I was touched by this
more than these people will ever know.

You see, I finally realized that ALL the things that happen to us (good
and bad) are opportunities for growth. Intense and even painful
experiences allow for the greatest amount of growth. So, the next time
something happens to you that you think is bad, make a conscious effort
to search for the silver lining.

Doing this takes practice and will not happen overnight, but the more
you practice, the better you will get at converting trauma into gold.
Eventually, you will see the world entirely different and all your fears
will just fade away. You will be fully alive and ready to experience
all the best that life has to offer. I wish that for you all.

Best Wishes,
