If the shoe fits

There are things that life will never stop teaching you until you learn, like when you have to repeat a class in school or carry over a course. It’s not that you did not take part in the class or you skipped the teachings, it’s that when the test came, you did not prove yourself worthy.

The school system is almost similar to the way life works. If you don’t pass a challenge, it will be the same problems with different names. Let’s take an example of someone who always finds themselves in toxic relationships. At some point, you realize you are the problem. You have never learned from your past errors.

But that’s quite harsh if you ask me. If I don’t pass a test, I can just change it. Why do I have to do it over and over? Here’s why, you simply cannot move on. You become stuck until you learn and you might not think much of it, but you never fully develop.

Haven’t you met someone who you would consider physically appealing but once they speak, you know something went wrong somewhere? Or someone who is calm until they are driving, then boom! Welcome to Mad Max 6. 

There are universal attributes you need to navigate life, and it’s the same for everyone. The only unique thing is that you are the interpreter of your challenges. If getting disappointed gives you trust issues or makes you go all out, if loss takes everything from you or increases your gratitude. It is always your call.

And until you choose my friend, you’ll be stuck in the class. Some of these attributes include love, forgiveness, self-control, kindness, and discipline. These are just a few of the ideas billions of books are based on helping you live a better life. But are you doing a good job?

This isn’t a jab at you, in case you are wondering. These moments are usually for my self-reflection, but you know what they say if the shoe fits…

You cannot get it all right in life. It’s constant work, but you also cannot use that as an excuse to get it wrong. If the time spent here will be worth it, humble yourself and learn, no matter how big you get or how far you go.
