Day 40 - Learn the Lesson

“I write to taste life twice.” Anais Nin

As I have read in so many inspirational stories, it is through suffering that we truly triumph. This year has been one of many ups and downs for me, personally and professionally. As my true nature is that of always finding the silver lining behind every cloud, I was given ample opportunity this year to learn lessons that I stubbornly resisted in the past. I have experienced more loss this past year than ever before and yet, what I have gained in return has been priceless.

When you are ready to face your fears, take risks, believe in yourself, and believe in a higher power, you will inevitably change. With change comes uncertainty as well as excitement. Letting go of the past creates space for new opportunities and this is one of the great lessons that proved a recurring theme of the year I turned 40.

Believe that everything happens for a reason. There is a lesson in every situation. Sometimes it isn’t obvious but hidden from plain view. Be grateful for the opportunity to learn.

Embrace 40!
