Each experience through which we pass operates ultimately for our good. This is a correct attitude to adopt and we must be able to see it in that light.

The quotation expresses a broadly providential or self-improvement philosophy: whatever happens to us—pleasant or painful—can be understood as ultimately beneficial if we adopt the right mental posture. It emphasizes attitude as an active choice (“we must be able to see it in that light”), suggesting that meaning is not merely discovered but cultivated. In this view, experience becomes a kind of moral or spiritual education, where adversity is reframed as training rather than punishment. The significance lies in its practical counsel: resilience is strengthened by interpreting events as contributing to growth, character, or future good, even when the immediate circumstances feel negative.
