"We think we have failed when all we have really done
is to take one more step to learn our life lessons."
Betty Clare Moffatt
If we do not honor our weaknesses or short comings, we will carry a sense of failure. It is when we can identify our weakness and adapt our thoughts and deeds, the task of living gains momentum. Rather than repressing a dark spot, we can choose to hold it up to the light and see how it fits into our lesson plans.
As we age, there is more room to turn around and glance behind us. We can establish a better perspective, cleansing and forgiving the errors of our way. We will also recognize these errors as our stepping stones which advance us in our needed direction.
If our hearts are cluttered with heavy rocks from the past, joy and calm will remain a destination. When we love our selves enough, we have the compassion to reexamine events, admit to our misconceptions, and free our hearts. We can at last make room for treasures to unfold; thus, the joy of living.
