Learning the Lessons
I hope this post finds you all well. Today really got me thinking about lessons that I've learned and will learn. Sometimes, I find myself learning the same lesson over and over again. I think this happens to many of us when we keep making the same mistakes yet, we're confused why we keep getting the same outcomes. In my opinion, I'd say this happens when we can't accept the lesson that life is trying to teach us. When I look back on the mistakes I've made more than once, I realize that I never once thought of them as mistakes.
I'm not saying that making mistakes is a bad thing, in fact, I find it completely necessary and just as important as our successes. However, the lack of self-reflection and awareness in our own lives can cause more pain than required. So often, we just go through life, making impulsive decisions without fully thinking about the reasons that we're making them. Our minds like patterns and we'll keep repeating the same patterns over and over again if we don't stop to realize it.
Intuition is a bit different. When you follow you're intuition, you're not following emotions or patterns that you've followed before, you're following your soul, you're gut feeling. Let's be honest, we dont' always tend to follow that feeling. We have all the answers within us, yet, sometimes they're just too hard to face. That's the reason it's so easy to give advice on someone else's life, but you can't take it for yourself. You don't want the truth to be the truth. You want to be able to follow your impulses, do what you want to do not what you need to do.
It's not easy to face the truth and it's not easy to learn lessons that you don't want to learn. I know this better than anyone. That's why, my goal is to start reflecting on these lessons, writing them down, and being able to reflect back on them when needed. This won't just help me in the moment, but it'll help me in the future when I can recall these lessons easily, see what mistakes I don't want to make again, and see how I've grown.
I challenge anyone reading this to do the same. Sit down and think about the things that maybe you've been pushing to the back of your mind. Listen to your intuition, even if you don't like what it has to say. Your soul holds the truth and if you can face that truth, life will blossom right before your eyes. I wish you all luck on this journey because I know we all need it.
Peace and Love.
