I am a pearl, are YOU ?

              Pearl - a person or thing of great worth



Who you are is a result of where you have been , the experiences you have had and most importantly, how we process them internally.  

We are taught so often that we have had so many"bad" things happen in our life and that in order to heal we have to learn how to deal with them and let them go.
What if ?......what if we had never had a "bad" experience?  What if every experience we had ever had held within it a pearl of wisdom.
We are so busy looking at how to deal with the "problems" that we seldom look for or see the good in any given situation. 

What if we looked at this in a different way. Are you prepared to think outside the box for a minute and consider something different? 
I believe that all the experiences we have contain a pearl of wisdom within them. Every "bad" experience we have forms a layer that over time, if we allow it to, becomes a pearl.

Pearls are formed as a defense mechanism against a potentially threatening irritant.  A layer of "nacre" is laid over the threat and , over time, many layers make the mother of pearl.
In the same way that an oyster makes a pearl we can turn the "irritants" in our life into pearls.
The pearl is a metaphor for something rare ,fine, admirable and valuable.  

                                 We are all natural pearls - all shapes and sizes. 

                                                        I AM A PEARL ! Are YOU?
