Lessons

It's funny sometimes how life can take a swift turn in a totally opposite direction. Without warning everything you know to be true has been shaken up, turned upside down, and totally rearranged. All the while, you are left standing there trying to figure out what in the hell just happened and how come nobody told you that there was going to be a change of plans. The plans that we often have for ourselves are never really plans once they fully play out. We find out that they were merely avenues of life in which a lesson was awaiting to be learned. Most times we didn't even realize the lesson was something that we needed to learn until we have learned it.
Many of us believe that we are already equipped with the skills and knowledge we need to "make it". As we mature and gain wisdom, we innerstand that that is so far from the Truth. Life is a continuous journey of growth and knowledge and it is only those that choose to seek who will find the truth and knowledge that their soul desires.
Often times you hear me speak about the here and now, about the importance of being present to life the very moment you are experiencing it. Well, that's where you will find life's most precious and greatest gifts and lessons. The only thing REAL is right here, right now, not yesterday, not tomorrow, not five minutes from now or five hours from now. Don't miss out on the greatest parts of your life living in a state of sleep or resistance. Be open to everything life has for you good or bad because in every lesson there is a Gift.
It has been said that your greatest moment can be found during your greatest failure, but that my friends is up to you. You must be willing to let go of every judgment and or pre-conceived notion that you have and be open to new thoughts, a renewed awareness and a new way of life. In the words famous words of Lao Tzu - "If you want to become full, let yourself be empty."
