Lessons Meant to be Learned

Things are easier when you think of your life as a predetermined destiny that was meant to teach your soul something new. 

Instead of asking "Why me?" start asking, "What is this supposed to teach me?"

When you look at life as a lesson, as a way to gain a greater, more emotional and spiritual existence - things don't ever seem that bad. 

It's tough to learn to do this to begin with.  So incredibly hard to take a step back and look at the picture from an outside view. 

Believe it or not, when you do this you will realize how vast and wide the picture is; how many other people and things are involved, and when you look close enough, you will most definitely find the lesson that is meant for you.

I know what the pain is like.  I know about the doubt and despair. 

It takes a strong person to set that aside and seek not to understand, so much the other person or thing that happened, but to understand yourself.

Sometimes I sit arguing with myself.  I have things pop into my head and my teeth will clench and my gut will start its anxious flight.  It's a daily fight. 

I choose to rise above it.  I chose to be stronger.  I chose to look at the entire big, wide, picture and learn my lesson.  Learn what my soul is yearning for me to know. 

When I delve deep enough I feel like I already do and a voice comes to me saying "My sweet one, why do ask for the answers, that you already know?"

And I reply to my inner voice; "I'm coming!" 

I am a work in progress but I am coming.  I know I'll be there soon.
