Alter your PEARLspective!

✈One of the reasons I love to travel is learning about the history and culture🗺 
🤿A fascinating element of Dubai was that pearl diving was the main source of revenue for most people in the Arabian Gulf, dating back at least to 350 years and was the primary driver of the region's economy and culture. When the Japanese figured out how to make pearls, the industry and economy took a nose dive until the discovery of oil. 
🦪Pearls are made by marine oysters and freshwater mussels as a natural defense against an irritant such as a parasite or sand grain entering their shell.
🧥That particle is coated with calcium carbonate (nacre) after entering the oyster and a pearl emerges in as little as 4 weeks as as long as 6 months!

⏸Take a PAUSE to consider that in life, the irritations we face are akin to the tiny grain of sand in an oyster - they may cause discomfort, but with resilience and patience, they can transform into precious pearls of wisdom, strength, and growth🙏🏾🙏🏾
😇Embrace challenges as opportunities to evolve, for within them lies the potential for something truly remarkable💪🏾
❓What irritations are yiu facing today? Be encouraged there is likely a PEARL in the making❗❗
👁Keep your eyes open for it❗
