Lessons learned

Personal Development

Lessons learned are sometimes the hardest to remember.  This is especially true when you try to apply the same model to something that, in the end, is completely different.

What I mean is that what works in one place may not work the same way some other place.  That one needs to really consider the aspects that worked, the parts that didnt’ work, and how to bring them into harmony and both function in the best way for the project.

Its a premise you can apply to many things, family, business, school, study, and relationships…  the list can go no and on.
One memory trigger I like to use is the axiom about the definition of crazy, doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.  There are no quick fixes to complex problems, so instead of lookign fro them, you need to look at the bigger picture and work from the outside in.

This came up recently in my own work in trying to assemble a study guide for myself on the Kabbalah, the Tarot, Astrology, and the symbolism of the Scottish Rite.  There are a few out there that others have compiled, Regardie, Case, but the work only covers it from their particular perspectives.  I needed to approach them from my own direction to determine how best they worked, and so far so good, I’m finding the path.

The biggest thing I’m seeing is the diversity between the paths, yet finding the similarities and connecting fibers that tell me I am on the right path.

At least for now.
