Life as a Rope

Throughout the span of time we spend on this earth, we are surrounded by experiences. Each and every individual has their own set of experiences to help them grow and learn. These experiences are extremely personalized for each individual whom is living the experience. Every individual has certain lessons which need to be learned during their time here on earth. Sometimes we don’t realize the lessons that are to be learned. Often times it takes an individual several different experiences to learn the same lesson that was intended to be learned with the very first experience.

As we walk through this life, learning from our own experiences, we often forget, or get caught up with ourselves. As human beings we naturally share our emotions, desires, and experiences with one another. If we would take the time to truly open up our hearts to one another, so many lessons would be learned from one another. There are so many painful lessons which are being taught, which could have been avoided, had hearts been softened.

There becomes a point when experiences begin to pile up. There are several lessons which are in the process of being learned, but often times they have tendencies to run together. The lessons become unclear and it is almost pointless to continue to try to find the lesson that is hidden in the emotional mess which we have created by allowing lessons to go unlearned. This can be prevented by learning from others experiences.

Early.

Easy.

Clear.

Simple.

All too often we begin to slide down our ropes; forgetting to grab the lessons we see others learning. If we would grab hold of these lessons and hold strong, we would stop sliding and keep ourselves steady. It doesn’t take much time until we are at the end of our rope; viciously grabbing at lessons to simply allow us to keep a firm grasp on our rope.

I’m at the end of my rope; never opening my heart to learn from others experiences. Now I am left to learn all my lessons at once. I’m at the end of my rope.
