Some things I’ve learnt along the way…(pt. 2)
"Over the last 20-30 years or so, I’ve had some ‘eye-opening/mind-changing’ revelations about myself and my life.Some of those revelations are about my relationship with myself, with my immediate family, with ‘ex’ friends and with an ‘ex’ husband – and are very personal. Others were revealed to me through observations, mistakes and other challenges that I experienced along the way."
* Just because it worked for you, doesn't necessarily mean that it would work (at all/as well) for me.
In my part of the Southern Caribbean, the saying is "Gopaul luck eh Seepaul luck", which is a warning to avoid doing what others have done/may be doing, just because it seems to have worked/be working. This is especially important if what you see being done is either ethically inappropriate and or legally wrong. Whilst others around you may benefit or 'get away' with such actions, you may not be so lucky. Do the right thing and make your own way; don't be a follower.
*Change isn't always a good thing.
Many strides have been made over the last few decades, especially in the areas of Science and Technology. These improvements have changed the way(s) the mankind gets things done - work and play - which, for the most part, has increased the level of convenience for this Life's journey. In doing that however, certain other aspects of Life have also been increased, but to man's detriment instead.
For example, mankind has become so 'comfortable' that such ease has given rise to physical inactivity, obesity, health issues, social insensitivity and even spiritual and moral decay...just to name a few.
What have I learnt? Change itself, isn't enough to make things better; holding on to what is valuable amidst the change, is.
