The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me

What if, today, in your improv of life, every time something bad happens you say, "This is the best thing that ever happened to me"??

What would that change?

A few years ago, my left hip became incredibly painful and I needed a hip replacement, seems "bad", right?

But, in the process of getting a physical to be cleared for hip replacement surgery, I had a mammogram and cancer was detected.

Needing a hip replacement turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me, to date, because the cancer was caught early. I went through all the necessary treatments and I'm cancer-free today.

I have a couple other instances where something that seemed bad turned out to be the best thing for me.

What's the best "bad" thing that every happened to you?
