COT:  James Clear quote on appreciating the “darkness” which Paul wrote about almost 2000 years ago in a letter to the Romans 5:3-4.  I added the Jocko attitude of replying “good” in every situation and how we can appreciate the crap that comes our way because those things make the sweet things sweeter!

 

Not only so, but we[a] also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.

James Clear has a modern quote

 

“The brilliance of the stars would be invisible without the vast darkness of space behind them.

Do not wish away the difficult portions of life. They provide the contrast needed to appreciate the joyful moments.”
