Day 34 – “WHAT DID YOU LEARN?”  

Welcome to a day that has a potential to bring change in your life. Remember to read this message out loud and read only this message for the day. You inspire for you to be inspired.

Remember: #ItsPossibleBecauseItsDoable

 Let me tell you a secret: there is something you can take away from every single experience. Though your situation may seem like a mistake, it doesn’t have to be wasted. Life is a classroom for us all, and every day brings with it both lessons to be learned and moments of growth. Choosing to make the most of them is entirely up to you. So why not take this as an opportunity to build your strength and take away something amazing that you can carry with you for the rest of your life?

Take some time to reflect on what you have learned. From those relationships that didn’t turn out the way you’d hoped, you’ve gained valuable insight, right? Despite the harsh working conditions, surely you noticed some silver linings. Even from the abuse and anguish endured living with a stepmother or father, what can you take away? You persevered to earn a degree in the face of adversity; what gains did that experience bring? Even betrayal and mistrust provide us with the opportunity to learn if we’re open to it. Think on these lessons; it’s how you grow and ultimately thrive.

It might appear as though all your hardships were endured in vain. It almost seems as if you’ve chosen to forget the events that made you strong. Your current behaviour is not aligned with the person you’ve become. You continuously move from struggle to struggle with little regard for the insight you’ve developed through pain. I’m not asking you to be perfect. I simply wish to see the lessons you learned through struggling displayed in your life’s progress. You and I both attended the school of toughest teachings, but I know you have what it takes to rise above them!

I know what you’ve been through but look at how far you’ve come. Don’t let the darkness of your past cloud the possibility of your present and future. It’s true, no one knew who you were or cared for you. It’s also true that people judge you and hurt you. But you mustn’t let them shape your future. Don’t judge others as well and remember – kindness is a virtue that you must carry with you no matter what. When it comes to relationships and love, be always honest and don’t expect too much from it. Love more honestly and don’t be afraid to trust. You’ll be surprised at how much joy and light can come out of it.

You know what? You can be different today than you were yesterday. You can start over and choose not to let the anger and hurt of the past bring down the sweetest person ever – you! Don’t let disappointment shatter your dreams. Tomorrow is never set in stone, and today is a brand-new opportunity for you to make a change.

Plan of Action:

1. Acknowledge the difficult events and relationships that have occurred in one’s life and the lessons they bring.

2. Forgive oneself for allowing certain events to consume your thoughts and actions – remember to be kind to yourself.

3. Take this as an opportunity to start a new day free from darkness.

4. Become more self-aware of what triggers and motivates one’s behaviour, so they can begin to take action towards aligning them with the lessons they have learned.

5. Value one’s relationships and the insights one can gain from them – be honest with oneself and open to trusting new people.

6. Resist any determination to remain bitter or vengeful towards anyone or anything – choose kindness instead.

7. Establish a plan for personal and professional development -implement action steps to make progress.

8. Celebrate positive achievements – focus on the gratitude for what has been accomplished, not on the pain of the past.
