Lesson

One of the changing points in the heartbreak years was understanding how my personality had set me up for the fall from the love and grace of a once-happy relationship. Recognising my naïveté and control, superiority, and fragility yanked me out of being a victim. Accepting responsibility for creating the scenario as a soul lesson was a choice. Then I could choose differently. Even if I didn’t want to. The premise of soul lessons may not be true or a form of spiritual bypassing. Yet in that moment, choosing that way of seeing the predicament I was in, flicked a switch.
