I am grateful for the hardships. via /r/gratitude

I heard a talk by J. Krishnamurti in which he said, "suffering is like a jewel . When you hold a jewel in your hand, you look at it and study it." His message was that to be one with our suffering, to own it as ours, as part of us, to know it through loving observation, gives value to it as part of our life experience.
I find this idea to be very helpful on my hard days. 🙏🏼
