One of my beliefs is that, when we are brought into this world, we have chosen a life lesson for ourselves. 

And we come across people in our lives that are meant to be the obstacles, so we can learn the lessons. 

For example, while growing up, I constantly want to be able to make money outside of the traditional path, studying, and then working for someone. 

But whenever I shared my ideas with my mom, she would say things to discourage me. 

“Don’t sell things, people are going to stop being your friends.”

“You’re not smart enough, articulate enough to be a business woman!”

Constantly stopping me. 

It was only when I finally stood up for what I wanted, that was the first step for me breaking free. 

That’s when I realize, yeah.. my mom IS supposed to oppose me. Because I needed to believe in myself, hold onto my dream. And if she believes in me right from the get go… I wouldn’t have to learn this lesson. 

It’s a difficult concept to wrap our heads around, because.. why would the people closest to us do something like this? 

But if we can take a step back, and look at our lives from a Birds Eye view perspective. 

And block out the labels, “mom” “dad” “significant other” “son” 

And just see them as points of connection. 

How is this person my lesson? 

What is the lesson I have to overcome? 

Because here’s the thing, there are people in this world where they may run away from home because their parents are abuse. 

And yet once they run away, they still come across human after human who did the same thing to them. 

Same lesson, different faces. 

So the lesson will keep popping up until they’re willing to face it, to learn it. 

If you’re facing some struggles in life, and if you wonder why it keeps happening.. then I invite you to figure out what is the lesson? 

Not quite sure and want to have someone figure this out with you? Book a time with me. 

Sending you lots of love.
