A Full-Time School Called Life [00:00:12]
You are enrolled in a full-time school called "life". [00:00:15]
Each day in this school [00:00:20]
you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. [00:00:21]
You may like the lessons or hate them, [00:00:25]
but you have designed them as part of your curriculum. [00:00:28]
Why are you here? [00:00:33]
What is your purpose? [00:00:34]
Humans have sought to discover [00:00:36]
the meaning of life for a very long time. [00:00:38]
What we and our ancestors have to overlook, [00:00:42]
however, is that there is no one answer. [00:00:45]
The meaning of life is different for every individual. [00:00:49]
Each person has his or her [00:00:53]
own purpose and distinct path, [00:00:54]
unique and separate from anyone else's. [00:00:58]
As your travel through your lifetime, [00:01:02]
you may encounter challenging lessons [00:01:05]
that others don't have to face, [00:01:07]
while others spend years struggling with challenges [00:01:10]
that you don't need to deal with. [00:01:13]
You cannot be sure why you struggle financially [00:01:16]
while your peers enjoy abundance. [00:01:19]
The only thing you can count on for certain is [00:01:22]
that you will be presented with all the lessons [00:01:25]
that you specifically need to learn; [00:01:29]
whether you choose to learn them [00:01:31]
or not is entirely up to you. [00:01:33]
The challenge here, therefore, [00:01:37]
is to fit in with your own unique path [00:01:39]
by learning individual lessons. [00:01:42]
This is one of the most difficult challenges [00:01:45]
you will be faced with in your lifetime, [00:01:47]
as sometimes your path will be [00:01:50]
radically different from others. [00:01:53]
But, remember, don't compare your path [00:01:55]
to the people around you [00:01:59]
and focus on the great difference [00:02:00]
between their lessons and yours. [00:02:02]
You need to remember [00:02:06]
that you will only be faced with lessons [00:02:07]
that you are capable of learning [00:02:10]
and are specific to your own growth. [00:02:12]
Our sense of fairness is the expectation of equity, [00:02:16]
the assumption that all things are equal [00:02:21]
and that justice will always prevail. [00:02:23]
Life is not, in fact, fair, [00:02:26]
and you may indeed have a more difficult life path [00:02:29]
than others around you, deserved or not. [00:02:32]
Everyone's circumstances are unique, [00:02:37]
and everyone needs to handle his or her [00:02:40]
own circumstances differently. [00:02:42]
If you want to move toward peace, [00:02:45]
you will be required to move out of [00:02:48]
the complaining phase of "it's not fair". [00:02:51]
Focusing on the unfairness of circumstances [00:02:53]
keeps you comparing yourself with others [00:02:57]
rather than appreciating your own special uniqueness. [00:02:59]
You miss out on learning your individual lessons [00:03:03]
by distracting yourself [00:03:07]
with feelings of bitterness and resentment. [00:03:08]
