A while ago I realized that the tail end of the arrow on the compass -- the compass guiding you into your correct future , has the words "Gratitude " on it . Gratitude guides us into the direction we wish to keep walking in . But when we experience negative events in our life , it takes a lot more work to find gratitude , than if it is a positive feel good event . Trying to look into negative stories and discover what I am grateful for , even if what I am grateful for is as simple as " I lived and did not die " -- suddenly I can see that , well , I want to keep living ! Good start ! Then , I go on from there . This search to find points of gratitude will always steer you in the right direction , almost more so in the stormy sea than in the calm days , because then it is very precise . I enjoyed listening to you both talking about learning from the past , even inside of trauma ( the unhealed past ) -
