lessons

Lessons are for learning. What we experience while we are here in human form, shapes and creates our reality. Perhaps everything we go through, the good, the bad and the ugly, are all intended to teach us in order to evolve our consciousness to higher levels. When we shift our attention from the daily pain of the challenges in life, to seeing things with a different perspective, it can totally change our whole point of view. What appears one way to someone can be viewed totally different by someone else. How we choose to view our lessons makes all the difference. Recently my daughter was going through a very challenging time at work. She was feeling extremely overworked and under appreciated. So much so, that it was causing her intense distress. She finally hit a point that enough was enough and she made the brave decision to quit this job. It was very scary for her to make this move and be open to such vulnerability. I reminded her that maybe the lesson of this job was not all about what she learned in the past three years she worked there, but in fact it was a lesson she needed to learn about finding her voice and not allowing others to make her feel less than and taken advantage of. She needed to learn to speak up for herself. When she looked at it through this lens, she felt so much better about her decision. It empowered her to feel more in control of her own destiny. And it sent out a loving message to the universe that she was releasing all ties to this toxic work environment in order to make way for the bigger and better to manifest in her life. Lessons can be challenging, to say the least. But remember, they are all for the purpose of growing our soul to higher levels.
