Living Kindfully

Sometimes You have to Get Screwed to Grow

The first month of the year is about to finish. Many would visit the temple to pray for good lucks and a smooth sailing year. About 20 years ago, I have stopped praying for good luck. As I look back the years, I learned that my growth only comes from facing setbacks. It was through setbacks, I learned more about myself. If things were smooth sailing, I was not learning at all. As human, our DNA is to seek challenges. It is only through dancing with failures, we appreciate the joy of winning and learn the lessons of failures.
