childhood and those experiences made me value everything , everyone , and every experience . It cultivated an attitude of gratitude within me because everything is a bonus compared to where I started and what I had to overcome . But I wouldn ’ t trade my trials and tribulations for anything because without them I would be useless .
[ WM ] I know you had a tough childhood and lots to overcome . What is your advice for overcoming the pain of one ’ s past ?
[ Zoro ] There are things that happen to us in life , things that can permanently scar us . For each of us , the wounds are different . So is the salve that helps us manage the pain . But pain management is a lifelong undertaking , so remain open to what purpose might derive from that suffering because God will use it to serve a greater purpose if you are willing . Life is doled out in increments , some of which make us who we are . So don ’ t waste anything . Use the good , bad , and ugly to make a difference in the lives of others who struggle with similar issues . This will bring meaning to your life that could not come otherwise . The greatest use of life is to spend it on something that outlasts it . I can ’ t think of a better way to spend our lives than to help , encourage , and inspire others . It will be our only accomplishments that will have eternal impact .
[ WM ] Zoro , you always have encouraging words for me personally and also for our readers . Thank you !
[ Zoro ] Thank you , Bruce .
