Meaningful lessons
Sunday, January 21, 2007 at 9:16PM Throughout our lives, we learn things that help us along. We receive advice from friends and strangers about how we could better ourselves. Do we listen? Do we hear and choose to grow? Our thoughts and feelings resonate sigals that draw people toward us. Some emit positive thoughts and others negative energy. We may learn from everyone if only we're open to that. Your thoughts are seeds of opportunities. Your desire to learn can invite unexpected growth.
Reflect on the kinds of experiences you invite into your life. As you focus on what you desire, on how you would like to help others, you are in the process of summoning power from inside you. Believe that you can influence the laws of nature, influence the opportunities that present themselves, influence a positive reaction and a hopeful mindset that will change your life.
What you think about highly influences the choices you make and people who enter your life. Whether or not you believed in miracles before, you're now more aware that they're possible. Meaningful lessons come in different forms.
A car whizzes past you and nearly runs you over. But, because you take a risk, you cross the race finish first and change your life forever. Stuck in traffic, a young man misses a plane and what he thinks was an ideal job interview. Yet, he was spared from the death toll of a nasty crash. A lightning bolt hits a tree. It falls next to your neighbour's house. She decides to move and avoids the damage of an unpredicted earthquake. You instinctively change your travel route and meet the love of your life in passing on a bus. Lucky breaks? Or did you invite reasons to be given a new chance at happiness? Just because you're unable to explain things doesn't mean you have reason to disregard or underestimate their importance. You invite joy and pain. You determine how emotions will affect your evolution. You tap into your connections with what you don't understand.
Describe a meaningful experience you have had which enabled you to learn about yourself.
