Adapt or Unlearn

 How many times have you been faced with the worries of how to respond to the things happening in and around you? How flustered were you? Or is it just another situation, you just need to wait out?

Okay! I was discussing this some days ago, and I began to see some slant around this. Through that conversation, it clicked that while adaptability is good, one needed to be careful not to lose ones'self in the process. Why you may ask? 

Well, I guess, it just registered that sometimes, there is nothing to adapt to nor some patience to wear. In short, there might not even be new learning curves or God teaching you something new; Nope! Indeed the challenge might just require something else. How about it being a push for you to reach out? 

You know, some of the windows life present us with are not for learning new things rather they are an avenue for unlearning what would easily be our response, and just using our relationships. Sometime back I was involved in a motor accident, I was not really injured, so I Came out from the car wreck and was busy seeing how we could help other occupants. Many did not know I was even in that vehicle until someone called my attention to the fact that I was bleeding. So like me, you do need to see that you might just be bleeding and need tending to. It is very okay to be weak and broken. Yes, it is. 

Are you beginning to see the point we are playing? Yes, there are indeed times when we do not need to adapt - you have been adapting for a while - you may need to unlearn that model and the do it yourself approach too - for that process is the onboarding of even greater learning curves. And you need to trust not just you but the relationships you have to succeed. You don't need them to be optimum, No Sir, they just need to be available and able to listen and understand your silence. Even when it does not seem like they do, you must trust and trust. It is in that giving of you, that you truly reach the point where - you are open to receiving. 

Nugget: Leaving things the way they are might make sense for a while, doing patience might be great, yet accepting help might be all you need. Don't close yourself out - you can do with some support.
