New month, new quote! Here's the quote for September!
"We are always given the very wounds that we are eventually meant to teach others to heal." - Teal Swan
A friend of mine actually shared this quote with me so that I could share it on my blog. (Shout out to Connor!) He said that he liked it because it was a reminder that "most all strengths are forged in fire through trials." I'd never heard the quote before, but I really like it and want to keep expanding on it.
Why Does This Quote Matter?
It seems so simple, but it's so true: there is a purpose to the pains that we've gone through. Instead of just getting through the pain or hard times, we can grow from them so that we can eventually help others through that same hard time. Once we go through the muck, we can help those who are experiencing the same challenge that we just conquered; it's our job to share our wisdom with those around us. Our challenges aren't meant to divide us, they're meant to teach and unite us. How amazing is that!
Ultimately, this quote is a beautiful perspective of the wounds and scars of this life. Personally, I'm reminded that my hard times can be someone else's inspiration, that my struggles can be something that someone else can learn from. If other people can see me push through troubles, pain, and difficulties and they feel inspired, that makes persevering so much more worth it.
Never forget how strong and incredible you are!
