Michael Beckwith on Oprah

I'm watching a taped Oprah episode that talked about spirituality. Michael B. Beckwith said something that really struck me. (this is paraphrased somewhat)

When we are in tough situations we are being called to cultivate qualities in us that we didn't have before. Tough times are indications that our souls can actually give birth to qualities and capacities that can't come forward until a time such as this. It's tough to hear that when we're in it because we just want the situation to go away and want the pain to end, but often times hidden in the circumstance is gift of the unfoldment of the soul.
