Lessons!

You might believe me if I said "You are limited only by your beliefs",
But would you believe me if I said you are where you are in your life only because you haven’t learnt your lesson. Dr. Robin Smith, a famous American psychologist sounds pretty convincing, I must admit.
The basic ideology of her work is that we each are a bundle of often unspoken lessons learned as children and that we're not done growing up until we acknowledge and understand the messages of our upbringing. She also says, each and every life altering experience that we go through is an incomplete lesson, unless you learn and identify with the purpose.
If you come to think about it - Don’t we all often find ourselves in the same detesting situation time and again?
Don’t we all often end up associating with the same kind of abhorrent characters in the professional environment over and over?
And, we also find ourselves falling for the same kind of man/woman, we swore to God that we’d never ever want to deal with again.
The list is endless…..
All these experiences are not just coincidences; they are a reflection of YOU – the “you” that has been molded by the total ignorance or misinterpretations of the life lessons. In short, we have only two choices, we could either be clear about our take-away from each and every experience because all the lessons are tacit in nature or we’ could train ourselves to be at ease about toiling in the same vicious circle.
So now on I would like to live out this theory, not because I want to make sure it works, but because it sure has helped me to view my past life experiences as incomplete lessons, which otherwise would make life difficult to be lived in the “now”.
Now on a lighter note – Due to the queasiness that I’m goin through these days, my husband irons his shirts in a hurry in the mornings just before leaving to work. He usually does such a bad job of it that I threatened him today “If you don’t learn ya lesson, you might end up doing the same for the rest of your life”. Did I tell you that he’s a Quick Learner? :)
