Lessons...... in Real Life

Hi people, sorry to be away for such a long time but i have been gathering the material to keep your beautiful minds stimulated.

               

So yesterday i think was one of the most eventful I have had in a long time. So much that I think I should restart the new season with it ( I am bubbling with excitement just thinking about the content )

So i will start with this quote “Nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.” This I strongly believe and maybe after reading this post so will you.

So to start things off, yesterday I woke up to a seemingly normal day to find my car ransacked and my radio gone. It was no surprise that I was upset and I continued to rant and rave about the loss of my radio for the most part of the morning. This was not gonna be a good day right? 

So I had made arrangements to see dispicable me with with my nephews that same afternoon. After seeing my radio gone I could be allowed to feel bad and have a valid reason to rain check. So still feeling upset I called them to reshedule this is where I learnt my First lesson; which is the power of genuine compassion. After hearing their excitement and their anticipation of the day ahead I just couldn't do it. Furthermore, not just hearing them say how sorry they were that my car radio was stolen but the directness of getting over it by them giving me directions to pick them up. If it was any adult I would say they were not genuine and unsympathetic but coming from kids I got the immediate lesson of  getting over it and moving on. So thats exactly what happened and my day was reset in a good direction with tons of fun at the movies. Second lesson; I realised how linked I was to the luxury of having a radio in the first place up to the point where it could potentially mess up an entire day. So it resulted in an ultimate goal of lessening dependencies on luxuries and getting back in tune with the basics.

So after a very good movie and dropping home the kids I went by a friend of mine, he and his wife are currently in the early stages of building a home together and for most of the night were stuck on their PC trying to decipher blueprints. Lesson learnt "get someone who knows how to read blueprints to help you lol" Third and more important lesson; In every major move in life it is always best to have support and love. Watching them try to make sense of the blueprints and reviewing it taught me the real value of teamwork. 

I left them still trying to make sense of the blueprint and later on met up with another friend on the  road. Needless to say we were a bit under the influence after a while and started a conversation on relationships. I can honestly say that I learnt as much about relationships as I have in the last year. It amazed me how he had it so much down to a science yet still factored in the aspect of feelings and emotions in his explanations. This is someone who admittedly was not interested in school growing up and dropped out or had any form of clinical training but he was able to break down such complex situations in relationships into simple and profound explanations they were book worthy. I wont discuss the lessons learnt in this post as they will definitely pop up  in others :) but i can say one of the most Important lessons learnt was women turning men into women and how men should deal with this by setting expectations and rules of male behavior as much as women do. Women overtly communicate traits that are associated with them being women for example moodiness that we as men accept. But what do most men communicate overtly for anyone to accept?? 

So that was my day and my final lesson from it was ........Always look for the lessons in daily life. It may seem cliche but sometimes the most complex things can be solved with the simplest observations and the most adverse situation may ultimately be a lesson in self. Hope this was a good start I have lots more in store ( rubbing hands).
