"Everything is medicine. Everything that happens to you in this life, every single moment, good or bad, has a lesson to teach you." - Nick Polizzi
Every moment in life is an opportunity to learn.
An opportunity to grow.
An opportunity to practice and improve.
An opportunity for development.
Whether it's getting cut-off in traffic and exercising restraint and poise from resorting to road rage.
Hearing the alarm go off early in the morning and using your power of will to bounce out of bed instead of hitting the snooze button.
Falling short in a job interview and reviewing the areas where you could improve next time, rather than drowning your sorrows.
Stubbing your toe and taking it as a reminder to have more self-awareness and presence next time, rather than rushing around whilst thinking about the next twelve things you need to do and worry about.
It may seem silly.
It may seem trivial.
But it is true.
In every single moment, life is trying to teach us something.
It is up to us to be aware of this.
It is up to us to be the ready-and-willing student.
Because in life, you either continue to learn and grow, or you get left behind.
In my latest "Book Review #9", I review Nick Polizzi's "The Sacred Science", an intriguing look into the ancient shamanistic healing methods, as well as two other great titles. Please read on for the full reviews.
Strive to live, live to strive.
