“If you could see, my sorrowful friend, that the misfortune which has defeated you in life is the very power that illumines your heart and raises your soul from the pit of derision to the throne of reverence, you would be content with your share and you would look upon it as a legacy to instruct you and make you wise.”
~ Kahlil Gibran, The Voice of the Master
Life is always cyclical, my friend. You can count on it. Just know that from the depths of the trough you fashion the peak.
So go live and learn, and with your newfound wisdom make the next round better than the last.
