Sometimes a collapse is a catalyst for change we didn’t even know we needed.

Yesterday our kitchen cupboard collapsed onto itself, and we were irritated because we had work cut out for us that we didn’t intend to have. 

However, we were forced to discover what was actually inside that cupboard. I had no idea we were hoarding 13 empty pickle jars.

Now it’s completely clear and the sense of satisfaction I get from being able to see every item of food we have is unexpectedly brilliant. 

Of course, the cupboard is just the starting point. It got me thinking, what if with every collapse that occurs in our lives, we didn’t just look for a silver lining, but also a giant benefit?
