PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

During our spiritual journeys, we can learn our life lessons the hard way or the easy way.  Unfortunately, the hard way is the only way many of us know how to learn these life lessons.  During our life lessons, we are put through difficult adversities, and through these adversities, we must learn something important about ourselves. Many who do not understand life lessons continue to blame others for their mistakes.  For example, many believe that when we go through a divorce, the life lesson is to never marry another person like their ex-spouse.  Unfortunately, if you believe this, then you have not learned your life lesson.

Through every mistake, we must learn something about ourselves.  For instance, with a divorce, we must look within to see what we did to cause this divorce.  Did we fail to communicate our needs and wishes?  Did we seek love from others by cheating on our spouses?  Did we fail to contribute to the marriage in an important way?  Did we fail to listen to our spouses’ needs and wishes?  Did we shut down when we needed to open up to those we love?

When we have learned our life lessons, we take responsibility for our part of the failure or mistake.  Only then have we learned our valuable  life lessons in order to move on in our lives.  Otherwise, we become emotional stuck in this place repeating this same patterns with the next person in our lives, and repeating the same mistakes resulting in the same failures.  When we do this, we continue to perpetuate our own suffering.  May you learn your life lessons in this new year, Brooke (Copyright 2013 Kundalini Spirit with All Rights Reserved)
