I used to think that the universe was punishing me, that I was being crushed and broken by all the trials I was going through.

Then I learned something new: that apparently we choose our trials before coming into this life… so what does this mean for our trials? What’s the purpose? Why would we choose them?

Well, if it’s not to crush or break us, it’s so we can develop the insights and skills we never would have without the trials, and we never would develop into who we grow into as a result of learning those things!

Pretty cool huh?

Here’s to learning what we came to learn so we can develop into who we chose to become!
