It's About the Lessons
Wowzer - life can be so challenging at times, right?  Just when we think we are doing ok - BAM - a challenge is thrown right in our path. Sometimes they can be pebbles that we need to maneuver around and sometimes it's a giant boulder that stops us in our tracks.  Whether the challenge is big or small, see it for what it truly is and nothing more.  No it's not a way to take you of course but rather a life lesson to strengthen who you are. Life, in general, is about the lesson - what you need to learn about yourself while you are here. It's not about the house you live in, the clothes you wear, what you drive, what neighborhood you reside in, how much money you make, your job title, how many friends you have or even how fabulous your lifestyle is.  Those "things" are a byproduct of living a genuine and purpose filled life. If you try and take the easy way around what life throws at you by ignoring it or just moving quickly past it by whatever means necessary, well then expect to get the lesson in a grander way later on. We all owe it to ourselves to see every challenge, every moment as life teaching us about ourselves. How brilliant is that! We are our greatest lesson. Does that take work and patience and introspection? YES it does ~ and lots of it! But you are strong enough and deserving enough to make it through to the other side of the obstacle. See each life lesson as another rung on a ladder getting you to higher ground.
