Hardest lesson I ever learned, is that the way my life has turned out was all because of me.
Sometimes it is easier to sit and feel sorry for oneself because life is hard, or seems unfair or just any part of the poor me routine. But when I get real honest, and I mean REAL and honest, I can trace back every tough moment to a decision that I made. I can see a lesson in each trial that came my way. I can see where things might have been better had I chosen another path. No one is sitting anywhere in this universe punishing me for anything real or imagined. No one is picking on me because I am not perfect. Nope, there is no way to jusify any of the things that I didn't like in this life other than to recognize I made each and every choice. And while this can be a heavy blow to take, it is also the start to writing a whole new story. It means that if I am responsible, and each time things turn in a direction that isn't exactly what I had hoped for, I can recognize the person in charge and change directions. Most times its just a quieting of those not good enough voices and then recognition for the one to credit or blame and a seeking to understand the lesson.
The worst lesson I ever learned, is that bad people show up because my actions were not inline with my beliefs.
Those who seek to unseat only show up briefly, and only usually play a minor roll of reminding me of the things I do not want. This doesn't mean when those lesson people show up that I am supposed to give them direction or try to fix them. The most amazing part of this education is that when I got this part figured out, the majority of those who show up have the same mission, or are looking for it. They come to co-create the good stuff and help to bring more joy, love and peace to my reality. They are attracted here, because the law of attraction says that which is likened to itself is drawn. When I am feeling out of sorts it is because I have drifted into one of the fear based emotional days and I can recognize and move out of it as fast as I found myself there...or NOT.
Best lesson I have learned, is that the rest of my life is all up to me.
Once I came to the understanding that I get to direct this life and make choices that are about honoring my beliefs, sticking to the path I hope to take and accomplishing those things on my list, it got amazingly easy to get the lessons, good or bad. It became clear and I am able to see those who show up with less than honorable motives. But also accepting responsibility for my life, my joy and my lot, also gives me permission to build on it whatever I choose. As I get my compass headed in my true north, those who wish to be a part of my success show up. They are busy loving and living in their passion, and I can play a part in their fun. They are inspiring and giving freely so that I can gain strength and hope from their success. They are offering me acceptance and love with ease and no requirements except that I be a part of the joy. This life is not meant to be a horrible thing that we survive, it is meant to give us opportunities to attract whatever our heart seeks to experience. When bad stuff shows up, I need only to check my compass, and decide if I was heading in my true north direction or had I drifted off course. Spending a little time to clear my thougths, visit my blog~erapy and redefine my direction is usually all it takes to move past those days.

If all these lessons are true, and in my life I believe that they are, I must only thank those who showed up to help me "get" them. I accept the responsibility for the lesson and give credit to the one who attracted it (me!). And I move on to the next moment of working towards what I want to see in my life. I can find joy, understanding, hope and a lesson in almost every moment, and most surely in every day. It's not always easy, living in a place where I get all the blame or credit. It's not always fun doing my homework and getting the lesson of the day. But I wouldn't have it any other way. Once I got the lessons that kept showing up, it meant that it was time to move onto another class, a graduation of sorts to a higher understanding. A path that shows me that I have nothing to fear, no one to lose, and everything to accomplish. It brought about a degree in creating that which I want to see in my reality. An ability to instantly forgive and move past any moment that didn't feel like it was honoring my life. It also means that I am no longer a vicitim of anyones malice or that I have nothing or anyone to fear. We get to ride the path we choose and if it ends badly then I have the chance to either choose better next time, or I can just keep doing what I did and keep getting what I got.
I also appreciate getting to see those who are still in the lessons I have already learned phase. They are still working towards getting the lessons in their own life class or not, there is no thing that says anyone has to be on a path of understanding. Life is to be lived at whatever level of consciousness you choose. There is no you got to do it this way or else, free will says that we not only choose the path we choose but also the time we come to understanding. Some seek it in every moment, some jump to the end of the story and try to read the ending first, others just take it a day at a time and will get their lessons one way or another. I love the path of least resistance. I treasure getting to go with the flow and see things for the lessons that they are, good, hard or best. There is no right or wrong, must or must not, no shame or blame. It is all in the education, and the pace we decide to run the race. There is no evil or punisher, we are attracting all that is, whether we belive so or not.
Once I understood that it was always, always, always my fault, choice, credit or blame....it got easier to be in the class and easier to get all A's.
