What is the "learning line?"
- When there is internal conflict regarding an external goal, we drop to the "learning line" in life, which is always the universes way of providing us with opportunities for healing.
- The good news is, we are each given an endless supply of "do-overs" meaning we have the opportunity to repeat lessons until we learn to embrace the lesson and ourselves with compassion and unconditional acceptance or love.
- When two or more people have the same or similar learning needs, they are brought into relationship, thereby providing one another with the opportunity to see themselves and grow.
