I don't know what it is, but I feel like there is some mystical, cosmic connection between my writing professor and myself right now. I referenced her in a past post when she warned against the self-sabotaging nature of perfectionism. Last night, she did it again.
Though I can't recall the context exactly, her words still ring true. Her wisdom bestowed upon me last night: "We can't change people; we can only change ourselves." It was nothing new. Nothing of genius. Yet it was the constant reminder needed to keep me on my path of reflection and growth. It's funny how my ears perk up more for her anecdotal life lessons rather than for her writing expertise.
So what is the lesson here?
To stay the course. I still may not know the reason for the events in my life right now, but I know that I'm making some pretty decent progress.
Life is truly a trip...
