Something ‘good’ has always come from something bad

This isn't some magical thing. You can have stage 4 cancer and consider it good because you get closer to your family.

It's all about what you decide to focus on.

I’d say it depends on the person and you need to be in the mindset to take that pain to grow from. Some people just can’t handle it but I can.

I dated a 10/10 last year, she broke up with me, and I went through a fair bit of growing pains. Used that time to reflect on myself, read books, and focused on looking for quality.

Now I’m dating a girl that’s much more compatible and never would have found her if I didn’t go through that pain. I worked hard on myself and really put it out there that I was looking for a quality match. I feel that energy starts to attract what you seek but you need to put in the effort. I had to start going out again, breaking out of my comfort zone, but I also made amazing new connections along the way.

From Alan Watts:

Once upon a time there was a Chinese farmer whose horse ran away. That evening, all of his neighbors came around to commiserate. They said, “We are so sorry to hear your horse has run away. This is most unfortunate.” The farmer said, “Maybe.” The next day the horse came back bringing seven wild horses with it, and in the evening everybody came back and said, “Oh, isn’t that lucky. What a great turn of events. You now have eight horses!” The farmer again said, “Maybe.”

The following day his son tried to break one of the horses, and while riding it, he was thrown and broke his leg. The neighbors then said, “Oh dear, that’s too bad,” and the farmer responded, “Maybe.” The next day the conscription officers came around to conscript people into the army, and they rejected his son because he had a broken leg. Again all the neighbors came around and said, “Isn’t that great!” Again, he said, “Maybe.”

The whole process of nature is an integrated process of immense complexity, and it’s really impossible to tell whether anything that happens in it is good or bad — because you never know what will be the consequence of the misfortune; or, you never know what will be the consequences of good fortune.

Good for you. The bad things that happened to me personally were just bad. Nothing good came out of it. That is all I can say.

Banned from a restaurant for telling the manager to go fuck himself after he blatantly disrespected me. Was local and loved that place. Didn't care. Going to new places and meeting new people. So much better.

Yes, this is a truism. Another way this concept has been phrased is: 'One door closes; another door opens.'
