I have had a very difficult week so far. The lesson that all conditions and experiences come to us for our benefit and growth has proven a great challenge.

My banking was hacked this week, and I have lost funds and spent many hours with the bank trying to rectify a fraudulent use of my bank accounts. It has cost me not only financially, but also in sleep and health.

I don’t feel that I have reaped what I have sown in this case, as Haanel states in number 8. Although I attempt to be honourable and authentic in my interactions, not everyone else in the world is.

I can believe that in some way it will be for my good, if only in the sense of becoming wary. There is no way to confront or even show those who stole what my response is – which is to have pity for them.

I continue to work toward refining my language and words as instructed, and to see kindness in the world around me.
