Every Moment Matters: The Gift Hidden in the Struggle

Why Are You Reading These Words Right Now?

What is this moment offering you?

Maybe this moment, this exact moment, was created long before you even realized it.

Maybe it’s part of a story that you and I are co-creating right here and now. This moment didn’t just happen, did it?

Perhaps these words are the moment. Or maybe they’re simply guiding you or me toward it.

Every moment has something to offer us.

Every single moment shapes us, our path, our choices, and our future. Some moments whisper their significance quietly; others shout and shake the very foundation of who we are.

Life, as we know it and live it, is a series of moments stacked one atop another, building blocks of what has been, what is, and what will be. Not a single moment is wasted.

Even the moments of burden, of hardship, of struggle, they too carry a gift. A gift that often feels impossible to unwrap when we’re standing in the thick of it. But if we’re willing to trust, willing to sit with and, perhaps most importantly, in the discomfort, the gift reveals itself. It may not be immediate. It may not be easy. But it’s always there, waiting for us to see it.

Look Back Over Your Life

Think about the moments that brought you to your knees, the times when you felt the weight of the world pressing down.

Would you step into a time machine to erase those moments? Would you trade the lessons, the growth, the strength they gave you for a different version of today?

If you took what you thought was the worst moment in your life, here’s what you might notice first - there was likely another moment before it that felt worse, and another before that. It’s a cycle. Each time, you overcame what felt like “the one”, the hardest moment ever, only for life to replace it with something that felt just as heavy.

But here’s the thing, you handled those moments. You endured them. And if you erased just one of them, maybe a moment from your childhood or your formative years, you wouldn’t just erase the pain. You’d erase the strength, the growth, and the resilience that moment gave you.

You can’t expect nothing would change, right? You learned something. Something that probably really sucked at the time. Something you would have done anything to escape. But here you are, reading these words.

It worked out, didn’t it?

Are You Feeling a Pull?

Are you feeling a pull to share these words with someone? Are you the conduit to a moment that runs from me, through you, and to someone who needs to read this?

Are you feeling a pull to say something to me?

This blog isn’t about me. It is, but it’s really not. This is about sharing things that I don’t see many people talk about. It’s about lifting a veil and sharing what’s hidden underneath. It’s about the things we don’t say aloud.

Maybe some weeks, it feels like a total miss for you. And maybe, just maybe, some weeks it knocks you back a bit.

What we can agree on and know for certain is simple.

You reading these words right now is no accident.
