Thought For Today: We Are Only Human
"We live several lives in one lifetime.
Waking up from a terrifying dream, we first sigh with deep relief,
Thank God it was just a dream. After we have made a big mistake in real
life we long for the chance to undo it. We do not get to undo those
moments, but life is still full of second chances . . . and third and
fourth chances. The big question is, Do we learn from our experiences?
In some ways, we live several lives in one lifetime and we have
several phases in one relationship. Today is a new day, and it presents
all the possibilities of a new beginning. We have learned from the
past. As painful and difficult as our experiences were, we can feel
stronger today because we have learned from them. Injustice and fateful
accidents can befall anyone. Yet many difficult times never need to be
repeated. Today we can be grateful for another day with all the new
opportunities it brings. Name one way you are different today
because of what you have learned from your experiences."

I am different today because I have learned that it is okay to ask for help. It is okay to lean a little on someone else and not shoulder the entire weight of the world on my own.
