A hard lesson a-learning is the one where we take responsibility for our self...for our past, as it were...our hurts, our misunderstandings, our "faulty parenting," our "harmful" church teachings, our ignorant doctors...each and all of the "not my faults." They may not be our fault but they are our responsibility because we have invited them to live in our head...plain and simple.
We take responsibility by...accepting responsibility. By coming to believe that our freedom is contingent neither on being right nor in proving anyone wrong; that we are only wrong in continuing to hold onto that fallacy.
The harder lesson comes in learning that that first hard lesson is essential but really just a small part of life's learnings. The bigger part continues for the rest of our natural life. That is the acceptance of the fact that we alone are utterly powerless to fix our self, that there is a power greater than our self who can and will if we will seek his way and will...and trust it to be.
Humans are rarely able to accept that our peace of mind comes by loosing our mind. By going beyond that reasoning mind to Love.
Thank you.
