When I was training as a Relationship Coach a key theme was the phrase: “Who knows what is good and what is bad”. I love this phrase because it shows up everywhere and I’m reminded today when a lovely friend called me up earlier. 18 months ago her Son was having a horrible time and, as well as trying to be empathetic and supportive, I also offered up that it would probably end up to be the best thing that ever happened to him. Anyway, my friend called me today with some wonderful news about her Son and to say that I was right! The point of this isn’t to say ‘Look at me, what a wise old owl I am’. Rather a reminder that we never know what’s round the corner, or what might be trying to happen in our relationships or lives. When the World seems to be sending you crap (technical term) try and hold that thought in mind, as very often clouds really do have silver linings.
