Soul Contracts and Life Lessons |
I’ve been thinking about life lessons lately as I’ve been meditating on my journey and what’s next for me. Before we enter this life, our soul or spirit sits down and decides what lessons it’s going to learn during this lifetime and what karma it’s going to resolve. Your soul not only decides what it’s going to learn, but what situations will be drawn to you so that you can learn those things.
This may sound like you really have no free will at all. On the contrary, even though certain situations have been planned for our lives, how we react to those situations is totally up in the air. We can choose to learn the lesson, or choose not to. If we choose not to, we have to repeat the lesson until we learn what we need to. A perfect example of this is a person who gets into the same kind of unhealthy or abusive relationships over and over. Once they learn the lesson and break the cycle, they never have to go through that again.
When you think about it, the bigger the crisis in your life, the bigger the lesson that you get to learn. Remember, you scripted this all before you entered this life, so if you don’t like the situation you’re in, you have no one to blame but yourself. 
The faster you learn the lesson, the faster you can move on.
