Lessons From School Life Analysis

Lessons from the school called “LIFE”

Let us try to draw a little comparison, between a small formal school that we normally go to during our childhood days, and the big informal school that we end up calling “Life” in our adult years. We are enrolled in both the schools, and we get the opportunity to learn our lessons, each day in these schools. We may like the lessons or hate them, but these are all part of our learning and there is no way out.

Human beings have, since generations, constantly endeavoured to discover the true meaning of life. In the course of this endless search, we all - as also our ancestors - have perhaps overlooked that there is no one answer for all. The meaning of life, is indeed different for every individual.

Whether we choose to learn them or not is entirely up to us. The challenge, therefore, is to align ourselves with our own unique path by learning our individual lessons. This is one of the most difficult challenges we will face in our lifetime, as our path will lead us into a life that is radically different from others.

We may tend to compare, but we will not achieve anything by comparing our challenges with those around us. It will be a shear waste of time. We need to remember that we will only be faced with lessons that are relevant and specific to our own individual growth. And, others will have their own lessons relevant and specific to them for their individual growth.

We need to love our work, love our life, love our difficulties in order to learn from them, love our differences with others in order to feel distinct, and thus have a large store-house of inner energy with us - for various fulfilling activities, rather than be feeling pathetic over our

There is no end to improvement, and living life more purposefully & meaningfully. Such an approach will give us a new sense of freedom, new levels of energy, increased passion and a greater understanding of the role we and our beliefs play in determining the quality of our life.

In reality, it all comes down to a matter of choice. We can choose to be reactive and at the mercy of a threatening world, or we can choose to be responsive & open to life and its remarkably endless possibilities. We can be defensive and protective, or we can have a new spring in our steps and spirit, have eyes that truly see, ears that really hear, and a heart that can feel the wonders, and thereby celebrate the magnificent mystery called life.

We all can make a start now, since it is never too late to do anything. Belief and confidence in ourselves will create a magical power and ability within us to start on this difficult journey, to go through it, and complete it
