You will receive a body.
You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time round. Does it serve you to love it or to hate it?
"To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don't need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself."
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
You will learn lessons.
You are enrolled in a full time informal school called Life. Each day in this school, you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid. Isn't it better to accept and love them as part of life, and learn from them, than to become bitter about them?
"It is hardly possible to build anything if frustration, bitterness and a mood of helplessness prevail."
~ Lech Walesa
There are no mistakes, only lessons.
There is a process of trial and error; experimentation. The 'failed' experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately works. By trial and error, you get one step closer to success. Is there success in giving up?
"I didn't fail ten thousand times. I successfully eliminated ten thousand times, materials and combinations which wouldn't work."
~ Thomas Edison (Inventor of the light bulb)
A lesson is repeated until it is learnt.
A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learnt it. When you have learnt it, you can go on to the next lesson. These lessons tend to get more and more difficult. Remember, what you resist, persists. Isn't it better and easier to just learn the lesson and move on to the next one?
"What you resist persists."
~ Carl Jung
Learning Lessons does not end.
There is no part of life that does not contain it's lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learnt. These lessons help us to build character and to become stronger. This serves us for the next lesson.
"Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there."
~ John Wooden
'There' is no better than 'here'.
When your 'there' has become a 'here', you will simply obtain another 'there' that will again look better than 'here'. Any challenges and issues that you face where you are at any given moment, will follow you wherever you go. There is no running from your life or lessons. The grass is never greener on the other side.
"You can't run away from trouble. There ain't no place that far."
~ Uncle Remus
Others are merely mirrors of you.
You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself. This is easy to understand when you look at your friends. They have qualities you value about yourself. That's what you love about them. That is what attracted them to you in the first place. Now look at the qualities you hate in someone. I know it is hard to accept, but those qualities exist in you, at some level. These people come into our lives because we have attracted them by having the same qualities as them.
"Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound."
~ James Allen
What you make of your life is up to you.
You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours. When you approach life and it's challenges from a positive state of mind, they tend to be but little mole heaps. When you approach life and it's challenges from a negative state of mind, they tend to be huge mountains that are impossible to cross.
"Man is made, or unmade by himself. By the right choice he ascends. As a being of power, intelligence and love, and the lord of his own thoughts, he holds the key to every situation."
~ James Allen
Your answers lie inside you.
The answers to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust. We arrive on earth in possession of every tool that we need to have an abundant and joyful life. So often we are so bogged down with what is happening on the outside that we fail to see what we have on the inside. You would be overwhelmed at the talents, powers and strengths you possess, if you would only focus on what is within and not what is without. It is time to believe in your greatness, and it will come to you.
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are of little importance compared to what lies within us."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
You will forget all this.
You can remember it whenever you want.
Your comments and questions are always welcome!
Love, light and abundance to you on your journey.
