A young single mother was recently sharing about the struggles to raise her little boy as she strives toward a state of inner peace and search for happiness. She has the ideal to raise her son to be an upstanding young man and provide him with a full life. Her daily experiences have become an inspiration to reflect about difficult times in life. Through my own challenging experiences I have discovered that whatever comes to us is because we have the inner resources to deal with the situation. I feel, as Peace Pilgrim did, that all that happens to us is for a purpose: it either teaches us something, or inspires us, or gives us an opportunity to be of service.

I wish to share with you today some of the questions I like to ask to enrich my experiences:

Where can I find deeper meaning today?
In what areas may I develop greater sensitivity toward people and situations?
How is my new experience contributing to an expanded significance?
