Yesterday, I caught half of a documentary on HBO about the risks of online dating. The movie was called “Catfish“. During the movie, someone mentions how catfish are used to keep cod healthy during long ocean voyages. Basically catfish and cod are enemies and by adding catfish to the mix, the cod are keep healthy as they try to avoid their enemy.

This morning, Joel Osteen preached about this exact story. Since I do not believe in coincidences, I am trying to work out what I am being told.

If I take the message generally, then all the challenges/obstacles I am currently working through, are here to make me stronger, more loving and healthier. On a deeper level, I guess the message is that people I consider to be against me (or that I do not get along with) are in fact here for my benefit and are worthy of my respect, further consideration and love.

Now I just need to go out and practice it……
