Living Debt Free

It’s been a long life for me and I have barely just begun to live. Really live. I had a tumultuous upbringing with minimal guidance or real teachings. Not just from my immediate family, but there was really not anyone around to help me grasp certain concepts or comprehend things other people are taught by parents, older siblings, elders in their family or community, or other fundamentally influential people.

A whole different lesson plan was given to me instead. I had key figures come into my life throughout the years who taught me immeasurable lessons that should have been instilled in me in my youth in order to navigate myself through the currents of this ocean called life. By the nature of who I am, I felt forever grateful to them. But forever isn’t forever. At least not in this earthly life. Forever only lasts as long as you need it to be to move on to the next step. So I have finally moved on to the next level of my lesson plan and have managed to become debt free to the people I owe my lessons to.

Yes, I am indeed grateful for every lesson learned and for every gift given.

I NEEDED to learn what I had to learn. One way or another. How the teachers showed up was not necessarily my choosing, but at each time, it was the only way for me to grasp the things that I had to overcome within myself. If I hadn’t overcome what I needed to, there would be another teacher showing up, trying to get me to see and listen. So truly it’s not the individual that you owe any sort of gratitude. It is the lesson in and of itself, the lessons that Life gives you. And what is Life but Divine Creation.
