Learning Curve

I experience these all the time and wanted to share my latest with therapy: When I first started to see my therapist Dr. Jeff Robinson, I hated it and told him that it was because I had to admit to him that I had a problem that I needed help solving and could not do it by myself.Finally, years later, mind you, yes- I am that stubborn, I realized that I missed seeing him and getting the maintenance that I need to keep going. Something about having to relearn to walk and having a second chance at life has helped immensely to facilitate this learning curve in my own thinking. I do not dare to suggest that this extreme and life changing type of event has to happen to everyone to be able to experience learning curves. I hope that you are more teachable than I am.
Regardless,your life therapy is tailored for you as mine is for me by a loving Heavenly Father who knows the curves we need in our life to get back to be with Him again.
Two other aha moments with Dr. Robinson:
1.Life can take a turn for the worst, if you do not guard yourself from, "seemingly irrelevant decisions. 2."We all have enough pain in our lives to maintain some sort of addiction of one kind or another. In my moments of relapsing into self-pity I have to remind myself that, "Just because you are hurt, doesn't mean that you are broken."(Disney's A Dolphin's Tale)"and that I don't have a monopoly on pain.
At my sister-in-laws wedding I saw a wall decoration with the saying on it of,"Life is short, forgive quickly,kiss slowly,love truly,smile often. I will have to work on all of these suggestions,but believe that they are all important in life. I hope to learn and incorporate theses into my life.
One closing thought on learning from 'The Gospel of Second Chances,' "We think we know a great deal, because we are ignorant of what remains to be learnt" -John Newton
So, here's to continual learning, I love school and if I could afford it would always be enrolled and taking a class or two. Something about being a geek and reading over 5 books at one time. "Life is shot. . . Live it and read/learn
