Well, after my slacker commitment to no resolutions for 2015 I started reading one of my new books by Paulo Coelho given to me by the Husband for Christmas. It's an old one by the author that I haven't read yet (background for you...I love Paulo Coelho and I read everything I can by him).
So Warrior of Light is one of my current reads for the moment and one of the short notes reads as follows:
A Warrior of the Light knows that certain moments repeat themselves.
He often finds himself faced by the same problems and situations, and seeing these difficult situations return, he grows depressed, thinking that he is incapable of making any progress in life.
"I've been through all this before," he says to his heart.
"Yes, you have been through all this before," replies his heart. "But you have never beyond it."
Then the Warrior realizes that these repeated experiences have but one aim: to teach him what he does not want to learn.This spoke volumes to me and where I currently am in my life spiritually, which of course impacts where I am every where else in my life. I know the lessons I don't want to learn but I think the child in my doesn't want to accept them yet. I don't know...I guess the part that wants to remain a Toys r Us kid.
I've fought these lessons because they will require a part of me to die or go away and force me to walk in a new destiny. I'm not quite sure, even as I type this, I'm ready for that path. But I am certain of one thing. I'm tired of repeating the same problems and situations!
So...this is the moment I grow up. Stay tuned. I'm sure the journey ahead will have me sharing a lot of my growing pains and laughter.
P.S. I won't leave without giving you a little flavor of 2014 and the real reason you all read my posts...my adorable cubs.
