Share how going through your experience changed you. Talk<br \/>\nabout your resistance, your pain, the imperfect way you did things, the<br \/>\nway you handle things now.<\/p>\n<p>Sharing honestly and openly teaches people around us the most helpful<br \/>\ntruth &#8211; that the imperfect way we live our lives is right for us at the<br \/>\ntime.

In moments you previously labeled as<br \/>\nstressful or problematic, you will begin to see the fruits of good<br \/>\ndeeds (another way of saying problem solving) show up without having to<br \/>\nlabor long and hard to solve your difficulty.<br \/>\n&#8211; Wayne Dyer, <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">There\u2019s a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Spirituality is very similar to health. Everyone has health. For some<br \/>\ntheir health is excellent and for others it is poor, yet you cannot<br \/>\nescape having it at some level or another. The same is true for<br \/>\nspirituality.

When I look back, I don\u2019t have a<br \/>\nconsistent interpretation of which acts were victories or defeats. And<br \/>\nI have seen the same childhood circumstances as both damaging and<br \/>\nbeneficial. This much is clear: Many important gains have come on the<br \/>\nheels of my greatest mistakes. Progress is the process of correcting<br \/>\nmistakes, not of being perfect. Today I will make starting over more<br \/>\nimportant than looking back. Those who make no mistakes have already<br \/>\narrived. I simply don\u2019t know what mistakes anyone needs to make.<br \/>\nTherefore, I am in no position to be &#8216;helpful&#8217;.<br \/>\n&#8211; Hugh Prather, <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">Morning Notes<\/span><\/p>\n<p>God knows the way to my heart.
