We’re never too old to learn, whether 15 or 50! next test. That’s why we have to remember to focus on “ME” not “YOU”! It’s my test, my life, this is for my growth, to make me stronger, wiser, better than before. I can’t pass the test for you, so I can’t spend my time angry, bitter and blaming you; that’s a distraction that’s wasting my time from studying for my next test. Because when we continue to shine the spotlight on “them”, we miss the reason the situation or person happened upon us, we often miss the entire life lesson…..and we sometimes make the same mistake again. And No, you can’t use your brand new superman eraser to eliminate the mistake, but you can be ok with it. No one is perfect, so don’t place blame or constantly beat yourself up or even the other person! Forgive yourself (and him/her too!) Those negative emotions are like chewing gum on your shoe—you can get stuck, unable to move left or right! Instead, be thankful for this God given opportunity to improve yourself emotionally, spiritually, financially, physically, and mentally. Think of it as a brand new clean slate; don’t waste it! Just like school, life is a class. We go from one subject (intro to relationships/career 101, etc...) to the next, learning the lessons we need to live a better life. We get the curriculum, figure it out, make mistakes, do better the next time then pass the test armed with the knowledge to help us graduate to the next level, and the next level and the next. The lessons keep coming, the classes do and can get easier and each time your life becomes better because you paid attention and studied! So sharpen your pencils, pick up plenty of paper and so you can see clearly, get yourself some new eye glasses while you’re at it! You’ll want to make sure you have everything you need to ace this thing called life! And you can, so Relax, it’s ok 2 go back to school. I’m Tre’ Tailor for Relax, it’s ok 2b Single!
