Sorrow has a way of strengthening your heart, we do not ask for sorrow but it befalls all of us. The journey of life cannot be touched by the sun all the time, the rain of sadness needs to descend allowing us to grow and become stronger. The beauty of life surrounds us but this is shown to us by the comparison of that which is tainted. By recognising sorrow, we can move forward towards a different day, by immersing ourselves in the sadness we hinder our growth. The oyster does not ask for the grit to enter its shell, but when this does a beautiful pearl is created. The sorrow in life can be the grit that enters your day, you have the opportunity and the strength to build around this to create something of beauty.
