20 Sept - WOD

Evolve - to come forth gradually into being; develop; undergo evolution: The whole idea evolved from a casual remark.

Life is geared to grow each of us through a series of events, experiences, and lessons. Some of life's teachings are bound to be painful while others are rather pleasant. The beauty of being enrolled in 'LIFE University' is that no matter what the circumstance that led to your lesson(s)... wisdom is always a byproduct. Smart folk use life's lessons to evolve into wiser, stronger, better prepared individuals. It would be a travesty to continue to repeat the same mistakes over and over in life. Every lesson whether negative or positive is intended to help us mature into better people.

Battered hearts and broken bones both heal in due time. In most cases, it is the lesson that we take from a previous encounter that assists us to steer clear of similarly dangerous territory. Far too often, we fail to take time to assess the personal growth that transpires between these little lessons. Perhaps we should spend less time reflecting on the harsh lessons of life and more time focusing on the growth that they afford us. I think we'd be surprised to find that we're constantly evolving into fine young men and women. Today, I'd like to remind you to be thankful for every lesson that life has afforded you. Even if currently you have not evolved into the person you would like to become, I can almost guarantee that you're not the person you used to be either. We can all contribute at least a small portion of our evolution to Life's lessons. Be blessed.

Very well written Luv. I think if we all were brutally honest with ourselves, we would have to say that those life lessons which seemed most difficult to overcome, are the exact lessons that proved to be the most beneficial for our growth as adults.
