How can we make a great fortune out of misfortune?
Short answer? Start by ugly crying, then get to work.
Kidding. (Kind of.)
But seriously—this isn’t just a question about silver linings. It’s about resilience. Resourcefulness. That weird moment where something goes terribly wrong, and later, you realize it was actually the start of something better.
Not instantly. And not easily. But misfortune has a sneaky way of rewiring us. It makes us resourceful in ways comfort never could. It teaches us where our true support is. And if we’re willing to look closely, sometimes it leaves us with tools we wouldn’t have picked up any other way.
