What Life Always Gives Us

“Life always gives us exactly the teacher we need at every moment. 
  This includes 

             every mosquito, 

             every misfortune, 

             every red light, 

             every traffic jam, 

             every obnoxious supervisor (or employee), 

             every illness, 

             every loss, 

             every moment of joy or depression, 

             every addiction, 

             every piece of garbage, 

             every breath. 

  Every moment is the guru.”
