I wonder if you have ever heard the notion that people come into your life to teach you something. If you accept the lesson and learn from it- new people with new lessons flow into your life. If you resist/ignore the lessons of that person, more of the same will come to you until you are surrounded by people all trying inadvertently and less subtly to teach you the same lesson over and over. Louder and louder. Stronger and stronger. Think of it as hitting your head against the wall.
I love this idea and other than the beautiful way it views hardship and difficulty as a way to become happier, I like the way it offers up heartbreak and adversity with a giant spoonfull of sugar.
If you see relationships, all of them with everyone, as opportunities to learn about the world and yourself, you will not be afraid. You will trust, you will stay open and you will fully engage in all that life has to offer.
That is me. Heart firmly on sleeve. In spite of everything and because of everything.
good girl.
I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve and thank you for the lovely reminder that it’s not only okay but even to be encouraged.
I think so – you mean why would you be jealous after you have moved on and away from a person that they are with someone else?
I totally believe that notion. Completely. It’s another reason why I never understand jealousy over people’s exes. Know what I mean??
it requires huge energy
That’s a good way to be, Brave Woman. That’s why you’re in my village… xox
