Look for the Angels in the things you hate...

The things you hate about life are the things that teach you what you love about life. Embrace the things you hate as your teachers...

It is said that God sends us nothing but Angels. What do we mean by that? Obviously we're speaking metaphorically when we say Angels, but how can "bad " things be mentioned in the same sentence as Angels?

Here's how. Without darkness there can be no light. Without up there can be no down. Without honesty there can be no dishonesty... We are able to recognize conditions/attitudes/events because in relation to their opposite they become clear. Everything you experience gives you a clear vantage point and an opportunity to decide who YOU are in relation to the experience. Witnessing an unkind act, allows you to decide that you are not going to be unkind when given the chance. Thus the unkind treatment you observed taught you clearly who you are not, and so very clearly who you ARE.

Look for the Angels in the things you hate...
