What is the lesson?

I am trying to understand what the lesson I am to learn at this point.   Then I came across this thought and it all became clearer.   I have been focusing on the hurt part, not the lesson that Spirit is trying to teach me.

Today I have decided to shake off the hurt, wipe my tears and focus on what the lesson is that I need to learn.  Oprah Winfrey once said “Lessons often come dressed up as detours and roadblocks.”   There has been a whole series of them happening in my life right now.  

I could be angry about this, but there is a clear lesson I need to learn.  That it is time to move forward from all the is happening and not let it stop me from what it is that I want to accomplish.   These detours and roadblocks are directing me to where I need to be.

Spirituality Lesson

As a Spiritualist, it isn’t always easy to understand what it is that Spirit wants from us.  What is or is not happening for us doesn’t coincide with our desires.   I did chose the word Discernment for 2019.   That is what Spirit is forcing me to do.   I also selected adventure and most importantly peace.   Writing this I am seeing the importance of these three words in my lesson.   To stretch beyond what I know is safe and branch out.  That I am to be grateful for the experiences I have had, and now move on and expand my horizons.

I am to be who I am meant to be, not fit someone’s predefined definition that fits their needs.  For too long I have molded myself into someone that fit in.   I never rocked the boat for fear of losing love or admiration.  I just did as I was told even though it did not feel right to me.   That has changed, I get it.   I am not to be that person.  In loving myself fully I have no fear of losing it ever again.

Spirit wants me to be the one defining who I am and not someone else’s version.   I am not here to compete or be better.  My purpose is to share my gift and my struggles to help others.   In loving myself I fulfill my purpose.   So simple, yet I had to go and make it so complicated…
