LIFE ITSELF IS THE DOMINANT TEACHER
The realization that life could be more rewarding for me began as I was approaching my thirties. While learning that I should "never resent" any circumstances that lead to a more personal awareness of myself and my life. I started to take it seriously that life is filled with infinite situational changes. And overwhelming challenges for "everyone". Some of which are beyond our control. But most of them are well within it. My perspective changed and that time of reflection was intense but clear.
"Life does not have an intended objective to do harm to any of us. The journey itself has no vindictive element towards us. So there is no need to resent the outcome of any particular set of circumstances."
It is natural however, to regret them. That is to be expected. "Regret is an excellent Teacher"! And it is persistent!
I was experiencing what can be summarized as the "law of cause and effect or consequences" I will not attempt to write on that subject. But to share with you the existence of it, and that it is real!! So that when you experience it, and you will. You are not caught off guard. This is truly one of the laws of life. It is present in all of our lives, at all times. Like it or not.
It happens like this, you cause an action or reaction and the consequences follow. The consequences will be positive or negative, depending on your own action or reaction. Most parents know about this, as well as most grandparents. Or any person of wisdom with a variety of life experiences.
Seek out the ones that you trust, who will share it with you. Try seeking their guidance because they all know that you will not live in this world without having experienced "actions and consequences" several times over.
And you will feel the inclination to "feel pity" for yourself when the consequences are negative and that is natural as well. But if you sincerely walk this journey with the intentions of being happy you will have to learn to appreciate and respect all of those consequences "good and bad" that life brings to you.
Because "Life Itself Is The Dominant Teacher!" Good Journey to You!!
