Life is a Test

Everyone can remember how it feels to take a “test.” It isn’t very comfortable. There is a sense that your response to a select group of questions, chosen by one or more people that may not think quite like you, will dictate the next step you take in a class, a promotion for a job, any number of things.

Life gives us tests every day. We don’t necessarily consider an illness “a test,” or a problem marriage “a test,” but they are. We learn lessons through the experiences we have. Some are positive, some aren’t, but whether the experience is good or bad, we have to adjust and work through the experience.

You would think that once you have lived through a negative experience, like choosing a poor partner, that you would not ever make that mistake again! People say that. But isn’t it odd when you see friends or relatives get out of one bad situation and in a short period of time, find themselves in another relationship with a similar type person? What in the world are they thinking?

The problem is that they are not thinking it through. They are not trying to change the choices that they make; in fact they are choosing to make choices that are in their comfort zone because it is familiar to them. It may not be good for them, but it is what they know.

Don’t settle for less than you deserve. Believe that you deserve more. Don’t allow yourself to think you are not worth a better life. You are worth it. Maybe you don’t know how to make the changes that need to be made. Let us know what you are thinking. Send us a message through Contact Us.

We are here to help you! “Now, let’s get going!” xo Sally
