I read somewhere that when something keeps happening to you, instead of asking, “Why is this happening to me?” you should ask, “What is this trying to teach me about myself?”

And honestly, have you ever had to learn the same lesson over and over again? If you have, you’ll understand how annoying it can be. Because guyyyy, I thought I learnt this last time na. Why do I keep missing the mark? Why do I keep experiencing something I should have learnt from and moved on?

But it happens to the best of us. We think we’ve learnt our lesson, and then boom, it shows up again like a recurring decimal. And instead of beating yourself up, ask a better question: what is this situation trying to reveal about me?

In the words of ID Kabasi, leave what’s happening and focus on what’s actually going on. Because what’s happening is a recurring lesson, but what’s actually going on is the deeper part of you that the lesson is trying to expose.

And the universe is funny like that. If you don’t arrive at absolute learning, a point where you truly and earnestly grab the lesson, it will remain a recurring occurrence until you do. It’s giving “you must learn by fire by force.” Lol. It’s either you learn, or the events keep coming until you eventually have to.

Dearest reader, every recurring lesson, tribulation, or trial is there to teach you something about yourself. It’s left for you to figure out what, because if you don’t, it might just keep repeating.
