"The Power of Lessons Learned."

"The Power of Lessons Learned."

     Different situations/experiences offer different lessons. It's up to you on whether you're willing to learn those lessons and apply them. I've learned over the years that I would continually make the same certain mistakes, and expect different results. ( Which Albert fucking Einstein said is the definition of insanity, so there ya have it. ) If you expect to make progress as a person, in your life, in any area, you have to be willing to learn and have to be willing to change. However, something you don't have to necessarily do, is force yourself to adapt to something that you don't agree with or want happening to you, or to your life.

   That being said, "hoping for the best," sometimes can literally be, "hoping for a miracle," and you are never doing a service to yourself by ignoring the reality in front of your face. It's never beneficial to instill deeply rooted beliefs into people, ideas, things or desires that haven't shown you that it's realistic to drop those beliefs on. I'm not saying that people, or even that I am wrong for doing this, because let's just face it, matters of the heart can put people in lengthy time frames of hope, delusional hope, really. We're all guilty of letting hope overpower our sense. Simply, "hoping for the best," for too long, on something that isn't even making progress? Has BIG potential to fuck your mind up, and certain aspects of who you are, as a whole. 

Depending on how deep the situation is. The power of learning lessons, is exactly that - POWER. Through learning, you're able to apply the changes, from the mistake, or off choice that led you to learn that particular lesson. If you so choose to not learn a motherfuckin' thing - than expect to make that same mistake, repetitively, for only God knows how long. 

When it comes to matters of the heart, I am under no delusions. I spent years in "hoping for the best," and then have gradually learned over the years, that the heart and mind are supposed to work together, alongside reality - NOT separately. No optimism, no pessimism. Just stay far away from letting those pesky delusions and daydreams conquer the realism that you truly receive when your heart and mind work together. That being said....

The general example is a hot stove, if you touch it once, you know it's hot, you don't do it again. I think it's a lame ass example, because yeah it's a fuckin' stove, and who wants to burn the fuck outta their hand, anyway? See, in that case, I say that some of us, those of us that are more stubborn to accept things than others? See, we will KEEP touching the "stove," just to make SURE it's still hot, and still going to hurt us....Put it this way, me & that stove? We aren't cool, anymore. I've finally learned that nothing I will ever do, in this life, or any other life, will change the fact that it's ohfuckingshitHOT - and that stove can't help but to BE hot and hurt me, because that's what the fuck it does.... 

I shouldn't of used the stove example, because stoves help me make bangin' as food, so they do serve a purpose, and now i'm over here thinkin' about food, and not life lessons, and well.... fuck, LOL.

THE POINT FUCKIN' IS - 

It's ALWAYS in your best interest to learn the lesson in front of you as they come and IMMEDIATELY apply what you learned from it, to your life. It's ALWAYS in your best interest to stay realistic, no matter what & keep the "hoping," elsewhere, and ALWAYS make sure your mind & heart are working TOGETHER, because it's when they're working separately that shit gets clusterfucked. If the same shit keeps happening to you, to your life? You keep letting it. If you're unhappy? Then you have to change that. If you're holding out, "hoping," for somebody to change, because in your mind, "that'll fix everything," - than you're in for a long ass ride of disappointment. I'm speaking from a position of knowledge, people. I don't say this shit because i'm trying to Dr. Phil not one of ya'll - I say it because it's my truth. Moving forward is some easy shit to want, we all want that - but it's even easier to stay in stagnant water because hope has you stuck in concrete . Stay realistic, learn the lessons, no matter how good or bad it may make you feel, and simplify your life. Nobody can do that shit for you, so quit your bitchin'.
