When I first read Kate Spencer’s book Twelve
Lessons, this book resonated so much with me. In a way, I felt like Kate
was telling me my life story from a different point of view. Well, only part of
it. Not all of it is completely relatable for me in the same context, but I
learned so much from reading this book and I really wanted to share the 12
Lessons Kate shares in her book and her journal as a blog series. I just never
got around to actually doing the work to make the blog posts before. Well, now
I am, so over the next 12 weeks, I will share information from the book and
each lesson. Who knows, this may help you more than you think!! This book has
been compared to The
Secret. Personally, I think it’s a more human experience version of The
Secret, and more relatable to what we as humans experience on a regular basis.
It is a book of fiction, but the lessons that Stephanie goes through and
experiencing a year in her life makes us feel like we are right there going
through it all with her. At least that’s how I feel, you should check out this
book and see for yourself. It’s available on Kindle and paperback!
The first lesson that Stephanie is taught is to be open to
change and possibility. In this life so many people are resistant to change and
the possibility of something new happening. I have seen this so much in my time
here on Earth, from people I interact with every day to the people in line at the
grocery store. Change happens daily and there is no stopping it! So the best
way to overcome it, is to accept it and embrace it! Personally, I love change.
I’m always looking for something new, a new way to do things, a new way to
learn something, a new job, a new place to live, new friends to add to my
circle, and the list could go on and on. Yes, sometimes change is forced upon
us by natural causes (i.e. fire, flood, and other acts of nature), and that
change isn’t exactly wanted, but it also teaches us lessons that we have been
resistant to learning. This life is all
about learning lessons, just like this book teaches us some very important
lessons as well.
Several months ago, I had to learn the lesson of change
being forced upon me, by going through a fire. I strongly feel that that fire
was the universe telling me that I had not listened long enough and the
universe was stepping in and forcing the change upon me. This was a change I
had been practically begging the universe for, for several months, but nothing
that I wanted came to me. I became a
completely different person because of that fire. I let go of physical
belongings because they were ruined by smoke damage, but I also let go of
people that I thought were friends and in reality, had only been using me for
my knowledge and abilities. And I think that was the real lesson that was being
taught here, the release of people that were only using me and weren’t real
friends. But I did resist this change of
letting go because of the fire for a few weeks. It took me over a month to
really grasp the lesson the universe was trying to teach me here. But once that
lesson came through, it came through loud and clear and I had a major Ah-ha
moment and things started to fall into place. Now that I’m back on my feet
again, loving life to the fullest, and experiencing everything fully every
moment of every day, I’m ready for the final aspect of this change to take
place, so I can really spread my wings and fly away!
We all need to learn to stop being so resistant to change.
The more resistant you are to change, the more change will be thrust upon you.
It is like you are telling the universe that you basically like being unhappy,
so the universe will continue to give you situations that make you unhappy.
Make changes in your life that will give you a better life today and tomorrow,
not just yesterday. Accept the changes that are coming your way. Who knows, by
accepting these changes, you may get more changes that you like even more
coming towards you as well.
