We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it – and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove lid again, and that is well; but she will never sit down on a cold one either.                       — Mark Twain

Being born and raised in Northern California, I have been “trained” to find the meaning in EVERYthing.  I love this reminder to find only the wisdom that we need.  I run into this with clients all the time – sometimes a hurt back is just a hurt back and the lesson is to rest.  Sometimes it can be connected to something more – subtle energy, communication, fear – but the message is the same.  SLOW DOWN and listen.  Then get out of your own way and move on.

Listen to the message.

Take it to heart.

Then celebrate your understanding and LIVE.
