When you overcome a trial or tribulation you feel exhilaration. You get the same feeling when you receive a wonderful gift. Those situations are one and the same to your soul, as they give it the gift of vitality.

When you fail at something, a gift has fallen through your hands. So when great trouble or suffering faces you, realize you are being offered a present from the Almighty. You will have more spiritual energy to surmount it, and your prize is less likely to slip away.
