Hardships often prepare ordinary people for extraordinary destiny.

C. S. Lewis

He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.

Isaiah 57:2
The King James Version

The word “IF” is often highly significant.  Think how different it would have been:
If you had only kept silent.
If you had listened to good advice.
If you had been more patient.
If you had frankly apologized.
If you had acted with prudence.
If you had shunned that bad investment.
If you had shown more sympathy.
If you had taken daily exercise.
If you had avoided that accident.
If you had started early.
If you had not run into debt.
If you had always been on time.
If you had promptly declined.
If you had controlled your temper.
If you had put it into writing.
If you had said the right word.
If you had eaten in moderation.
If you had stayed at home.
If you had not blundered.
If you had been industrious.
If you had guarded your health.
If you had recognized your fault.
If you had simply agreed.
If you had daily prayed.
If you had persevered.
If you had given more generously.
If you had not been stubborn.

Alfred A. Montapert
