Yesterday I had a disagreement with a very special person – and it really shook me. Perhaps it wasn’t so much the disagreement, but the strength of the reaction to what I had said, that upset me. So, of course, I’ve done nothing but think about it since – I’m sure many of you can relate!What I’ve been thinking about is that everything in life happens for a reason. And people come into your life for a reason. And disagreements happen for a reason. You can choose to investigate this further, or not.When I chose to investigate, I realized that this disagreement had occurred to act as a mirror for me. A part of what had been said was important for me to look at and work on myself. Isn’t it always that way?The negative that I had seen in the other, was actually a reflection of something in me. Whenever we see something in another that causes alarm bells to go off, its not only about them – its about us. The Divine is always giving us opportunities to grow and develop. Its our decision to see them or not.After all this – here’s my Insight of the Day!“Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.”

John Quincy Adams1767-1848, Sixth President of the United States

Isn’t it amazing how many opportunities for growth we are given each day?
