Tragedy and Triumph

Good Morning!

In this life, we have many experiences, and the thing that ties us all together is that we all have these  less than positive things that occur at some point in our life..

 

Some are tragic, some make us angry, some are senseless but, in the grand plan, they are all purposeful...

 

It is never easy to look at these events and find why, but, we can see the changes that they bring..changes in perspective, changes in the way we think, and live.

 

Rather that trying to figure out why..lets focus on what lesson or message does it bring...

 

This change in perspective allows us to remove the victimization of the event, and see that all change, all transition, all of these events have a higher purpose, a higher order to them.

 

Even the most horrific events bring with it an opportunity to grow, lessons for the victim, and the perpetrator..in addition to all of those who are part of it, and those who are merely witness to it, or hear the story....

 

We cannot live under the fear, anger and guilt that these events bring...forgiveness, compassion and love will bring change and the freedom to live......

 

By removing ourselves as a victim,  and allowing ourselves the freedom of a higher perspective, we remove the emotion, allow ourselves the freedom of faith that there is a higher order, and accept that with love and peace...

 

I have experienced senseless tragedy, but I have also seen the most amazing positive changes that it also brings, in some cases, if these events did not occur, ultimately entire lifetimes would have been wasted, and many, many more would have suffered...

 

The needs of the many, sometimes outweigh the needs of the few....

 

Not that we are not allowed to feel, to grieve; but to allow that process, so that we can then release that to the higher  power, as something that will forever shape us, and define us in a new way, and allow us to hear those stories of others tragedies that will bring compassion for others......

 

Compassion that we may never of had if not for our experience, an opportunity for us to bring understanding and inspiration to another....

that there is life after tragedy....

 

Here is the thought for the day

 

Hope has two beautiful daughters -

their names are Anger and Courage;

Anger at the way things are,

and Courage to see that they do not remain the way they are.

St. Augustine
