I was
inspired by a conversation that I had with a very dear friend. During our chat, I said to her, “Do we learn
from it or linger on it?” Which has a
ring of truth to it, do we take from the experience a lesson learned or do we dwell
and wonder what if?
“Do we learn from it or linger on it?”
I can only
share with you from my own volumes that are in my Library of Life. In this particular series I will admit that I
have had my fair share of lessons and times of lingering. The thing is this, the choice is our own to
make. I have ridden the Emotional Roller
Coaster. The ups and downs along with
the curves and bends have caused queasy spells.
“The Emotional Roller
Coaster”
We all have
our own Library of Life to pull out moments or a memory from. This topic was prompted from a conversation and
I felt it was important to share that it is ok.
Either way you choose. It is
yours to experience and you can grow from the situation. Or let it grind your life to a stop. Then your life is on hold and in most cases
it is not just you who has been put on hold.
Be not afraid of growing slowly; be afraid only of standing
still.

What is
important is your journey. You can help
yourself and you alone. To expect another
to fix your situation is in my opinion a bit inconsiderate. I can say that because I have done that to
others and that was only impacting me from becoming the person who I am
now. I welcome the negative because from
it the positive is a lesson and hopefully I was able to learn from it.
“What is important is your journey”
There times
I have not learned the lesson and have repeated the experience. But to know that I have done this shows that
I can distinguish there is a difference.
That one step forward in my book and individual results will vary for
certain. But if I can you can and that
at least is a something to think about.
I am saying for me it was not good to linger in the past because it put
my future on pause and was not growing.
“Should we heed to
repeat the lesson”
A plant
needs sunlight to grow. If you deprive
it of sunshine, then you stunt its ability to mature and reach its
potential. It is the same when you
choose to linger. You prevent from maturing
to your full potential. Learning is your
sunshine and gives you the building blocks to develop that ever evolving being
that you are by design made to be.
“A plant needs sunlight to grow”
We are still masters of our fate.
We are still captains of our souls.
