A quick metaphor for this chapter can be explained as such; Throughout life, you are like a growing organism, who is shaped by growth and pruned by your experiences. During shaping experience, you will be confronted by both negative and positive outcomes. The authors state that with each "life lesson" especially when it seems to be negative, most people run at it and try to solve it as soon as possible. Rather than focus on how to solve the problem right away, they suggest you should step back, absorb all that is happening and embrace the problem. Each problem may be an opportunity for you to grow and better yourself. If you change your lens on your experiences and ask yourself how your life is being guided and what you are supposed to learn from your daily lessons, your ability to grow and change for the better will become apparent. You might also find something wrong with you instead of pointing the finger at someone else to avoid self-guilt. In times of difficulty, look to people you tryst to give you honest feedback and to hold up an accurate mirror of what is unfolding.
