I have been so blessed in my life to have
many teachers. Often karmic teachings but also beautiful souls who have crossed
my pathway and shed so much light on subjects without even trying. Just dropped a nugget, painted in Hayley language,
and left. Only for me to pick it up in wonder and marvel how I had never seen
it before.
But if I had to choose one bit of advice
that has served me every single day since the day I heard it, it is not to be a
thief.
You see, I had it in my head that I needed
to pick up everybody’s baggage. Everybody’s burdens. Everybodys troubles. And carry
them on their behalf.
Until a teacher one day told me that I was
stealing. I looked at her incredulously and asked what she meant. That I am a
martyr if anything, definitely not a THIEF! And she looked at me and said
Hayley, those are other people’s lessons. They are their blessings. They are
their terrors.
Leave them be. Nobody can learn if somebody
else takes them away. Put them down and let them learn their lessons. Support them.
Love them. But let them be free to learn, to suffer, to grow, and to get to the
next chapter in their books.
So my nugget would be – if its not yours,
leave it be!
