When the student is ready...

I always find it so amazing how when  you are looking for something, it appears in your life.  Not always immediately and not always easily recognized, but it does appear if you are in tune with yourself and your surroundings.  I've had a few epiphanies over the years and I swear if a light bulb could come on from them it totally would.  All of the books I've picked up or downloaded over the past few months have really spoken to me.  The podcasts I've been listening to are almost eerily speaking directly to me.  I'm learning a lot about myself and realizing that I am human.  I'm not unique in my struggles, in fact a lot of other people feel the same way I do.  I'm not a freak and this is reassuring news.  We are a society that is hard, hard on ourselves, and hard on one another.  We need to cultivate open minds and understanding hearts.  Show a little more kindness and compassion to ourselves and others.  Life is good, people are good, and we all have the ability to make a change.
