A good education is another name for happiness.

~Ann Plato

Most of us think of education as something attained through schools and degree programs. And, in fact, increased self-esteem and courage have opened many of us to possibilities for furthering our formal education. But healing and spiritual growth are the result of another sort of education that is open to all of us each day. Opportunities to awaken our spirits continue throughout life.

The pain we may have suffered in our families and in society, personal traumas, mistakes we have made, things we may wish we’d done differently - we can put all of these experiences to use. Whatever we have suffered can expand our perspective on human life and increase our usefulness to others. Knowledge of life and overcoming obstacles can make us wiser and more compassionate as community members, mentors, lovers, and friends. We know that the education of our hearts, like that of our minds, takes time and study.

Today, I am grateful for all of my experience.

Today's reading is from the book Glad Day
