watch for a circling, a kind of coming back to similar situations repeatedly. I don’t mean this in a repetitive dysfunctional pattern kind of way. Instead it feels like the same cycle comes back again and again. Each time, I’m somehow changed,
This weekend I experienced a couple of these conversations. I’d say one of the things I’ve learned is that everything passes, feelings, the bad, the good. It often circles back but there’s a flow I can live in.
One thing I've learned is that I am stronger and more resilient than I've generally given myself credit for. And I'm also learning the great importance of giving myself and others Grace. Lovely post, thank you. 🌷
That good friends come around again and again just when needed. I’d say to that person living my life that they should nurture close friendships when they’re young—because some will last forever 🙏
That was such a creative and well-written way to invite us to share our own life lesson, Priya. I really enjoyed that!
There are of course so many lessons I feel I’ve learnt (or are still learning), but one that I’ve been thinking about a lot lately is that — things always work out better than I expect them too. Like there have been so many times where I’ve worried and fretted over some upcoming situation only for it to go so much smoother and better than I could’ve ever imagined. In fact, this has happened so many times that after many of these occurrences I’ve started telling myself “next time I won’t worry about the next thing” and yet, try as I might, I still find myself worrying. So, I guess, I haven’t fully learnt this lesson yet.
One life lesson I have learned is to embrace change with patience. Life’s cycles bring familiar challenges, but each time I grow, learning to adapt and find new perspectives within the familiar. Thanks Priya.
Change can be sudden and drastic and since that doesn't give us much time, it's become easy to dread it. Being patient with yourself and with change itself is such an important lesson.
Thank you, Tinashe! I appreciate your taking the time!
I love this invitation Priya! Thank you. And I would offer that one of the things that has served my suffering less, is having learned through meditation/spiritual practice the capacity to observe my humanity from my divinity => and these are just words pointing towards a phenomenon that is discussed in depth in the Bhagavad Gita in a chapter called The Field and the Knower. Getting this insight changed my life❤️🙏🕊️
Thanks Priya. And I find Substack is such a great place for each of us to remind each other. Sometimes, in my human experience, I find it too easy to forget🥰✨🌟💖🙏🕊️

Thank you, sherry!

This one hits me hard, Michael! Sometimes the lesson I've learned is that I've lost so much time because of my worrying. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, definitely, I struggle with that as well. Thanks Priya :)
Some lessons repeat until we learn them. Each time they shape and reshape us. Love this, Priya!
Thank you, Nadia! I appreciate your support!

Thank you for sharing, Camilla. It’s such a great lesson and we need to hear it until it’s incorporated into our very bones.
