I have to admit that I have had a crazy and stressful week. My thoughts were not very focused on school as I was trying to figure out how to manage family accounts and make ends meet. I started the week off with food poisoning. Then my husband went out of town to find work and I ended up with a flat tire and a flat spare tire, unable to get home when the kids got out of school.
Each night I came to the computer to do my studies and read about this wonderfully successful women, Magdalena Yesil. It was hard to not be jealous of her. She made it look so easy. Everything that she did worked out and here I am feeling like a failure. But as I was reading through some comments made by classmates, one comment really stuck out; nutritious experience. Not everything really did simply work out for. She got jobs, but didn't always enjoy them. Instead of just being unhappy about it, she studied and learned all that she could. Yesil made her experiences count for something. From each one she grew, learned and became a better business person.
This is something that I would like to do as well. We can't always decide our trials but we can learn from them. They can be a nutritious experience instead of a poisoning one. I would like to remember this as I make my way. I can learn all that I can from each transition in my life. There is always more to learn.
