And your answer . . .


What do we ever learn when things are going great?

Yes, we want our lives to be good, for things to run smoothly. Wouldn't it be nice? We'd like to be able to relax and kind of watch life glide along. 

But that is not how it has been or, I have to say, is supposed to be. It's when we're stretched or hurt or ill or when we're pressed to do the hard thing that we learn and grow. If we let ourselves. That is when we have the best chance at becoming good people, worth something, trustworthy, dependable, wise.

So I repeat the question. What do we ever learn when things are going great?
