Every situation and experience in our lives pretty much always carries a learning within it.
Throughout the day, simple happenings and circumstances, as well as prolonged experience – such as a job, relationship – all carry a “take away” from which we can learn, enrich ourselves, grow.
All you have to do is look for them.
Don’t look deliberately, purposefully or it will elude you.
Kind of like those random dot 3D stereogram images from the 80’s and 90’s (SIRDS – Single Image Random Dot Stereograms, or SIS – Single Image Stereograms).
You have to relax and let go to see the image that’s hidden in plain sight.
The same with simple and complex events in everyday life. If you let go and relax – a pattern emerges, an underlying message appears.
These can be profound or simple.
Sometimes you might extract an important point – or confirmation of a fact you made a note of earlier – from a silly film or a light hearted evening at the pub.
The trick is to learn this perception and to be able to see, hear and feel these messages in everyday situations.
You might watch a seemingly pointless action film with no “deep purpose”, only to realise a short while after that the take away for you might be that:
People often do things we first don’t understand or appreciate, but which we later realise was ultimately to help us.
Or when your child throws a tantrum – you will suddenly understand the mechanism behind your own frustration, since they both come from the same place.
Pretty much all situations and experiences carry such messages and the more you see them, the more positive you will also become – since it will matter less and less how stressful a situation is, if you know that you’re likely to learn something from it and become a better person for it.
