Life will teach you what you need to know. That’s the beauty of it. Whether it’s one bad relationships after another until you realize to look at the common denominator, the same maddening addiction cycle over and over, a lifetime of career underachievement, financial struggles, health issues, or anything else a person can struggle with, challenges exist for the purpose of your growth. Near death experience survivors may go so far to say that we choose our own lives to learn the lessons we want to know.
Sometimes we don’t become aware of our own patterns until, as Abraham Hicks would say, we croak! Life is busy, confronting our shadow is hard, and making real changes is uncomfortable. It seems to me however, that people are awakening earlier in life due to our increasing connectedness and the raising of the collective consciousness. We’re divorcing that narcissistic partner who’s just like our mother at 35 instead of 55, and I call that a win.
I guess I’m writing this to give hope (mostly to myself) that wherever you are, that’s right where you’re meant to me. Don’t worry too much about making mistakes, because you definitely will, and that’s life’s opportunity to swoop in and reveal to you some beautiful, horrifying, inconvenient truth about this human experience we call life. What you do with that information, and what this all means, is ultimately up to you to take it from there. I wish you more unflinching days than not, and the courage to keep moving forward in your truth, day after day. It would definitely be easier to stay asleep, stay the same, and make the same familiar choice for the hundredth time.
