Dear Diary, I think that particular people get particular lessons.. Don't cha?

Particular people get particular lessons. We can react to all of this in one of three ways. We either say:
· “MY LIFE IS A SERIES OF LESSONS I NEED, HAPPENING IN PERFECT ORDER.” (The healthiest approach, guarantees maximum peace of mind.)
· “LIFE IS A LOTTERY, BUT I MAKE THE MOST OF WHATEVER COMES ALONG.” (The next best option – offers average quality of life.)
· “WHY DO BAD THINGS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME?” (Guarantees maximum misery and frustration.)
We are continually being presented with lessons. Unless we learn the lessons, we get to take them again ... and again ... and again.

Call it a divine plan, call it the natural unfolding of events, it is happening. Like it or hate it, it is happening. Take responsibility or claim you’re a victim, fight it or ignore it, it’s happening. It has been happening all your life. Every time your neighbor abused you, each time a salesman ripped you off or a lover walked out on you, there was a lesson staring you in the face.

If we are miserable seven days a week, it’s likely we’ve missed a lesson. When we keep losing jobs, lovers, money ... it’s a sign that we haven’t been paying attention. As one lady remarked: “I keep getting the same old problems in a different pair of trousers!”

The worst thing we can ever say is: “It’s not fair!”
