What is a Lesson?

When people tell you aboutlearning lessons, what does that mean to you? How would you go about learning lessons if you do not have an understanding of what alessonis, or what lessons are about? Why are lessons important?

"To Learn Life's Lessons well, you must first understand the Universe around you."

You will usually learn something about lessons when you begin school. Most teachers there will have aLesson Plan, or a schedule of things they will be teaching you. Therefore, in this case, learning a lesson would be learning what your teacher is teaching you. For example, let's say today the class is meant to learn the "times 2" numbers table. So the numbers table is explained to the class, examples given, then after being instructed on how to go about doing it, you, along with everyone else, get to recite it. The term "Learn your Lesson Well", would be when you can demonstrate you know the table and what information it has; you have learned it well.

That is how it works in a structured plan.

Lessons in the Real World

When you go out into the world, you areon your own. The lessonsin the real worldhave to do withyour decisions, and therepercussionsof your decisions. When you make agood decision, it generally will give a good feeling for a short amount of time. But, what happens when you make abad decision. That gives you a different sensation. That other sensation is often called "pain".Painis the repercussion of making anincorrect decision. Pain can show up in many ways -physical pain,emotional pain,financial pain, etc.

Why do you think we are meant to feel pain when we make awrong decision? If you sense painas a result of your actions, you will likely think twice about doing it that way again, right? What if you forget about the pain you experienced the first time you made an incorrectdecision? What do you think will happen if you make the samebad choice, again? Interestingly, the pain, as a result of your actions becomes bigger and moreintensethan the first time. Therefore, you keep abusing yourself more each time you make that samemistake. So, what will your nextbig mistakebe when you are making decisions?

So, what you have just learned is when you make anerrorin your decisions,you will experience pain, until you "learn your lesson". Also, if you are experiencing pain, there is likely a lesson attached to it. Look forthe lesson. If you learn your lessons well, then you will be experiencingless painon your jou ey than someone that does not understand lessons.

Your Universe around You

Look around you. You are literallythe center of your Universe. It is yourparadigm, your reality that you have created that interacts with the rest of the world. Your lessons deal with issues in your Universe andyour reality. Therefore, those lessons are for you, and only you. Only you can really determine what they mean. Ultimately, you are the person that must deal with your lessons. Other people have their lessons they are responsible for. You have yours that you are responsible for as well. As yourjou ey unfoldsbefore you, youdiscover yourselfand what you are doing here in this world. You also begin to understand the complex nature of your Universe. By understanding your Universe, you can glean much more information from your lessons.

By stepping forth and embracing your Universe, you are finding yourself and gaining an understanding as to what your lessons mean for you.

Good Luck,enjoy life, andLearn your lessons well!
