So because I did not post for yesterday's action, today is an extension....
Yesterday’s action was to support others (there is always a lesson for self in helping others), and today's is finding the lesson.
Everything that happens in our life has a purpose, no matter how tiny the event. From deciding to have a girls' night out to picking the great new job and moving away. We must take the time to find the lessons... I started to understand this lesson thing best during college. I have always wanted to move away, and college was my ticket out. I turned down some great opportunities, to go to college out of state. And as much as I wanted to stay away, after two years, procrastination and a little bit of laziness (I can admit now) I had to take a semester off and move back home.
I didn't want to, but had no other option. However when I got home and started to work (for the first time). I begun to appreciate what I had, and what I would need to do to accomplish the goals I had set for myself.
I even started to appreciate being home, I started to understand that the issues I thought I was escaping by moving away followed me wherever I went. So I have faced many of them. And in the process learned to appreciate my experiences, learn from my challenges and face my fears...
During a challenging times in your life, what lessons have you learned?
