For instance, your job. Unless you are part of a startup
from the beginning, you didn’t get to see the early days of your company.
Generally, folks join a job after the business has already started, so in that
case, your beginning is somebody else’s middle.
Now, think of that. You’re just starting out, and your
co-worker or your supervisor is already 15 years into the job. But you’re both
part of the same story.
And say your co-worker stays another 15 years at the same
job, and you move on to a different job in an entirely different company.
Because you’ve made a change, you are also probably not working at the same
level you were working at your first job. New kid on the block sort of thing.
You need to go through the same steps in learning your new job, fitting in with
the company, gaining people’s trust, and proving yourself to be a good worker.
There is an upside here, and that is that you now know how
to do two entirely different jobs. More skills, a different sort of experience,
and yet, what you learned at your old job will prove useful at your new job.
It’s sort of like soul mates. You’re just not guaranteed a
soul mate who is your same age or even the opposite sex. You, at 37 years old,
might have a soul mate who is 84 years old, and you don’t meet until that
person is 84 years old. You’re not going to have that long with this person,
are you?
I’ve lived in a lot of different places in my life, and I’ve
had a lot of jobs as an adult, most because we moved. I’ve also been
ghosted/fired. It actually wasn’t as horrible as I thought it was going to be.
It turned out to be a stepping stone for me to become the writer I’ve always
wanted to be.
They say you should write about what you know. The older you
are, the more you will know whether you have had many experiences or just a
few. And, anyway, you can always learn.
Like, if you were going to write a good-guy/bad-guy novel.
The best way to get experience is to read about it. Then, you go experience it
if you can. My husband took a citizen’s police academy course and learned a
whole lot about what the police do. He also saw firsthand compassion during the ride-alongs he went on. One night, they were out on patrol and came upon an abandoned bike. They put it in the cruiser's trunk and
continued their rounds until they came upon a homeless guy, at which point the
officer offered him the bike. Dennis, my husband, said you’ve never seen a happier
guy.
In our own lives, as we recall or tell our stories, there is
the beginning, the middle, and the end. Of course, there are all sorts of
experiences that happen along the way, like your first kiss, graduating from
school, your first job, getting married, and your children being born. We’re
not there for the end so much, especially with sudden ones.
What I’m seeing now with myself, and I can’t imagine it’s
much different from what you experience, is that my learning takes a long time.
Something as simple as patience. It’s not three steps. It was a whole lot of
steps for me, and only recently have I felt a calmness, that patience that
seemed so elusive.
When I do a past life regression, I’ve never asked to see
any specific moment. It just happens. When I first started doing regressions, I
kept jumping into deathbed scenes. Like the first one I did, I popped into a
shed where 12 or more bodies were all hanging from the rafters. I was the
little kid who had been hidden when the horror had happened and came out later
looking for my people. That was ghastly. I think I had another like that, and
then I complained and asked my Spirit Guide what was going on with all the
death. He told me to remember that everybody has happy moments in their lives
and to keep that in mind on the next one I went on. He also said there was a
lot of energy associated with traumatic events, and that’s likely what drew me
there. I did as he suggested and my past-life regressions are much more interesting these days.
We come into each other’s lives at odd moments. You can be
blessed with a family, a friendship, or an association that lasts for a long
time, or it might happen that you’re not together for all that long.
My advice is to give it your all. Be friends in a fierce
way. Love in a fierce way and enjoy your life. Now. Not later. Not when you
have more money, or you’ve taken all your classes, or you get tenure, or when
you get healthy. Do it now. Not later.
Thanks for reading.
