He / she is not yours to change. He / she is not your project. He / she will get the lesson when they are ready. When will you get your lesson? Open discussion at the Self Reflection blog.

How are you different today than you were yesterday? Have you turned yesterday’s experience into a lesson? Stop now and think. Look for the enlightenment. It’s there. It really is. Open discussion at the Self Reflection blog.

You have a lesson to learn. You may or may not know what it is, but you are required to learn it anyway. If not today, then tomorrow, or the days after. Listen hard and study well and you may pass the test. If you don’t, be assured there will be other ones. Open discussion at the Self Reflection blog.

The School of Hard Knocks is an intense experience designed for slow learners. Tuition is free, but the costs are high. If you lack common sense and like to repeat the same lesson over and over again, this school’s for you. No classrooms or books – just life. Enrollment is open and recruitors are on standby.

When your day does not go as planned, rejoice in the opportunity to go back to the drawing board. This lesson in flexibility also teaches creativity, patience and fortitude. That’s Gods gift to you. Give thanks and create anew.

There are there things you should know when you rest your head at the end of everyday. You should know what the lesson was. You should know what you learned. You should know if you are on track or not. If you did not learn anything, what’s the point in doing anything?

Arbitrarily inflicting physical or emotional pain on someone disrupts their development. The only lesson they get is how to disregard humanity. Today’s mantra: Compassion, not pain. Love, not war. Heal, not hurt.

On your next experience, be sure to get the lesson. Instead of asking ’Why me?’, ask, ‘What was in it for me’? The experience, no matter how heavy or happy, is part of a divine plan toward self consciousness and enlightenment.

Half the objective is to learn the lesson. The other half is not to repeat what does not work.

Some of you might be feeling that life dealt you a wrong hand.  If only you had more of this, or less of that.  You may be asking yourself ‘why me?’  I challenge you to ask yourself why not you?  Who better else to receive your lesson?  So now, what are you going to do?  Is there someone, somewhere who could benefit from the wisdom gained from your experience? I bet.
