It’s our lesson
November 27, 2017
When you learn your lessons, the pain goes away.
— Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, The Wheel of Life
Sometimes, we wait and wait for a painful situation to end. When will he stop drinking? When will she call? When will this financial stuff get better? When will I know what to do next?
Life has its own timeline. As soon as we get the lesson, the pain neutralizes, then disappears.
And the lesson is always ours.
Examine your life. Are you waiting for someone or something outside of you to happen to make you feel better? Are you waiting for someone to learn his or her lesson for your pain to stop? If you are, try turning inward. See what the lesson really is.
God, please show me what I’m supposed to be learning right now.
