Reflection: Two paths

In every moment of suffering, whether deep hardship or a passing frustration, two paths unfold:

• One leads through resistance, blame, and resentment - a path that multiplies pain.

• The other invites peace, acceptance, forgiveness, and learning - a path that leads to grace and growth.

We may not choose the hardship, but we do choose how we walk through it. The choice is rarely easy, but it is always ours.
