QUESTION: What would you like to share?

STORY: Life on earth, to me, is a school. I’d like to share with you one big benefit that I’ve learned about life in my 77 years. Everyone in the world has personal problems. Are you aware that a problem can be viewed as a teacher? And when you do see a problem as a “teacher” - you become a student capable (or at least willing) to learn something new from this issue or problem. What happens when we are not willing to learn from our problems? Well, we fall into old mechanical habits - like we blame others for the problem or we get depressed and feel self pity or we deny that we had anything to do with the problem. Nevertheless, our problems get bigger and bigger until we take charge of ourselves, enter the classroom and do the WORK. It is time for each one of us to learn more about the WORK of self observation without judgment. Interested in learning more? Check this website page: https://www.drawingtogether.com/workchamber
