I'm learning that life will give you opportunities to learn more about yourself and who you are. You don't always have to go searching.
There arises times where you are expected to show extreme humility an vulnerability and when you don't show, it becomes apparent in the area that you lack.
The times in life where a friend approaches and needs your help. You learn about your own levels of compassion and what you are personally willing to sacrifice for somebody else.
There's times where you realize where you stand on moral issues, and it becomes more than what your parents have taught you your whole life.
You get to step away from religion and begin to question what do I really believe?
You learn who you are. You learn where you stand. And you don't even need to create situations for it to happen. It just happens.
Then you sit down and you talk to god, you talk to Jesus, you talk to Holy Spirit and you learn who you were created to be. You learn the truth.
So I never regret the places I've been, the people I've met, or the actions that I've chosen. Because life will set you up for some downfalls, but... Even if you fall, your character is defined on how you get back up.
It doesn't matter how you fall. Who really trips with grace? How are you going to pick yourself back up? Are you going to drag yourself up using only your own two hands? (Pride) or are you going to get up with grace while you accept the hand of a friend. Or will you learn to climb to new heights as you pick yourself up and go even further than where you were before?
Or... Will you stay down in the mess?
