4. A Lesson Is Repeated Until It Is Learned
“A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.”
Who hasn’t heard the expression, “We learn from our mistakes”? It isn’t just a catchy phrase designed to placate the disappointed. It happens to be true.
I remember when my daughter was very small and we had to repeat things over and over. The no stage in children starts with parents saying no and a whole bunch of other phrases over and over and over. When we read parenting books we are told children learn by repetition. As it happens, so do we. As adults the lessons may not always be obvious because they are situations that just keep showing up, sometimes under a different disguise. That happens until we learn what we are meant to learn. So don’t ask yourself, “What is wrong with me?” that X Y or Z keeps happening. Ask instead, “What is there to learn?”
Understanding that all experiences are opportunities. As one of my favorite Buddhist sayings goes, “All suffering is evolution.” Class is in session.
Namaste!
