Await the Gift.

Just wait. Be patient in the midst of tribulation and you will see the opportunity (the horizon that awaits you in the distance). Diamonds are mined. Butterflies are evolved caterpillars. Every experience has a gift if you are willing to await its unfolding.

Take a moment to reflect on the difficult moments in your history. Think of your most significant challenges. How have they served you after the fact? How did you benefit from each experience? How did they play a role in your present circumstances? How are you a hero in your own story?

Success or sabotage? Success can only be truly appreciated if you can see the influence of every experience and its contribution to your bottom line.

Is this going to be an incredible day? Take a moment to appreciate the wonder of this day, knowing that this day will never come again.
