All events are blessings given to us to learn from

Every failure we experience in life is either a complete waste of time or a learning experience - and life is just too short for wasted time.

"There is only one thing more painful than learning from experience, and that is not learning from experience."
Laurence J. Peter

"We have two lives - the one we learn with and the life we live after that."
Bernard Malamud

"There are no mistakes, no coincidences. All events are blessings given to us to learn from."
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
