Today I’m feeling that life is a gentle teacher. These are words from Melody Beattie. She continues, “She will keep repeating the lesson until we learn. It is okay to become frustrated. Confused. Angry. Sometimes it is okay to despair. Then, it is okay to walk away and allow the breakthrough to come. It shall.”
I am learning how to be a friendly companion to myself as the world shifts around me. In fact, if I realize that life is teaching me this lessons gently, repeatedly, I can be a more grateful and humble student. I can be more open to the lessons.
“Help me remember that frustration and confusion usually precede growth. If my situation is challenging me, it is because I’m learning something new, rising to a higher level of understanding. Help me be grateful, even in my frustration, that life is an exciting progression of lessons.”
(From The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie)
