I wanted to share this quote with you all from Inspirationpeak.com. I receive a daily message/quote from them, and they are such inspiring quotes. This one really hits the nail as I know a few people going through tough times right now. Reading it just makes me think of hard times I have come through and it just make me thankful that during those hard times I didn't get down in a rut, I stayed as positive as I could and now, I am thankful to God that I am in a better place than before. Here is the message:
At a certain moment in Nietzsche's life, the idea came to him of what he called 'the love of your fate.' Whatever your fate is, whatever the heck happens, you say, 'This is what I need.' It may look like a wreck, but go at it as though it were an opportunity, a challenge. If you bring love to that moment - not discouragement - you will find the strength is there. Any disaster that you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life. What a privilege! This is when the spontaneity of your own nature will have a chance to flow. Then, when looking back at your life, you will see that the moments which seemed to be great failures followed by wreckage were the incidents that shaped the life you have now. You’ll see that this is really true. Nothing can happen to you that is not positive. Even though it looks and feels at the moment like a negative crisis, it is not.
