I am grateful ...

I have recently gone through an enormous hardship that rocked my life and almost took it away,

Beasts gathered around me from everywhere; even my closest entourage, trustees, and even some of my family raced in a betrayal contest to get a piece of me.

I have no idea how I survived it, but I did.

Now it passed, I can reflect on how it turned out the best I have ever endured in my life.

The most win I had was that it made me appreciate everything, even the little things I never paid attention to.

I now realized that what I lost was only the chain that shackled me all my life.

Now I lost it; I am free.

Before the hardship, I had everything, but I was never free

Now I have lost everything

I have nothing, but I am free, which is priceless

I am now so grateful, for ...

1. The humiliation, now the bar is set low, everything I do now seems admirable.

2. The animosity, now I know my enemies, what an advantage.

3. Taking my possessions, they were just shackles. Now they are gone, I am free.

4. For pushing me off the hilltop, Now I am climbing back; I’ve got much stronger.

5. Showing me hatred, Now I see how self-destructive it can be; I’ve learned to choose love and forgiveness.

6. For the injustice, now I know the damage it can cause, I learned never to do anybody wrong.

7. For the destruction, now everything is gone; I got good at rebuilding from scratch.

8. For degrading me, now my arrogance is shook-up; I found more joy in humility.
