The Generosity of Experience



I am grateful for the experiences good and bad that have led me to where I am now.

Everyone I know is grateful for the experiences good and bad that have led them to where they are now.

Everyone I don’t even know all over the planet is grateful for the experiences good and bad that have led them to where they are now.

-----------------

I have no idea what the reasons are behind the experiences that have happened to me.

Some have been very good and helpful.

Some have been very bad on a deep level.

But I am where I am now because of all of them.

I have had the opportunity to consider things in a different light because of all my experiences.

I have had the opportunity to learn many different viewpoints.

I look at people now and think “what lies were you told?”

It helps make me step back and be a bit less judgmental.

This dilutes the system of beliefs around me and lets me be a bit more generous.

I hope that others view me in the same light.
