Anything that annoys you is teaching you patience. Anyone who abandons you is teaching you how to stand on your own two feet. Anything that angers you is teaching you forgiveness and compassion. Anything that has power over you is teaching you how to take your power back. Anything you hate is teaching you unconditional love. Anything you fear is teaching you courage to overcome your fear. Anything you can't control is teaching you how to let go.

A coach of mine once told me that anything I was feeling was my "stuff." I didn't understand it at the time because it seems counter-intuitive. There are things outside of our control and we are most certainly mis-treated at times. The point my coach was trying to make, however, is that we have free will with what happens next. We can choose to sulk and be bitter, or we can learn something new and make decisions or changes based on that. Just sayin' :) Hugs.
