If you can ask yourself, “What is life teaching me right now?” you will move through life with much less friction. Difficulties may come your way, but before you immediately react, if you can pause and ask “what can I learn from this?” then you have the upper hand over anything that could drag you down. Now, the next question is often: “But how can I tell what life is teaching me?” Start with the current experience and ask “Why does this hurt?” then ask again “Why would I feel hurt by that?” then ask again “Do I need to feel hurt by that?” You will begin to notice that pain always carries information on its remedy.
