Lessons to learn......

Have you ever heard someone say "Why does this always happen to me?"  Sure you have or maybe you have had the same thoughts.  There are times we experience the same or similar situation over and over again.  There is a reason this happens.  The universe (or God depending on your belief system) has a message for you.  There is a lesson to be learned from repetitive unfortunate events.  For example, you meet someone special in your life.  You try to do whatever you can to please that person, however you soon find you are being taken advantage of and eventually the relationship ends and you ask yourself 'why does this keep happening to me?', the lesson to be learned is you have to take care of you, because if you do not, who will?  Until you learn this lesson, the situation will repeat itself.  Another example could be finance related, perhaps you find yourself low on cash during the holidays and you do not understand why.  The reason is probably the fact you did not prepare for the holidays and now you feel like the universe is working against you when in reality you are working against youself.  Something else to think about, no matter what you believe in, ultimately it is your actions that shape the life you live.
