All adversity is a test.
To see how we respond to it.
Do we respond with humility or resentment and bitterness?
How we respond makes all the difference in the world.
Resentment and bitterness hardens our ego and blocks the revelation of why we are suffering and the reason for it.
Surrender is taking the responsibility for our life situation and admitting a reason does exist for it.
Will we humble ourselves and learn the reason for it or harden our ego in a battle we cannot win.
We are not here to just be happy, successful or wealthy, but to surrender to our higher purpose and consciously be reborn.
We are here to transcend the limitations of our humanness and not to create a blissful worldly existence.
Those who forget the higher purpose of our existence are doomed to be constantly dissatisfied with desires that cannot bring fulfillment.
Only sorrow, emptiness and temporary satisfaction.

This is a great uplifting article by Robert about the nature of life’s real test and teaching when things go wrong for us.
