The wise person learns from everything that occurs to him. He tries to gain understanding from each occurrence. Even if he doesn’t merit to gain a total understanding, the attempt to gain a deeper grasp of the matter in itself expands his mental scope. 

By developing your spirituality and cleaving to Torah, you will develop a profound spiritual outlook in all that occurs in your life. This will help you to lift yourself up from one level to the next.
