A blessing in the lesson [Ask Chanelle]

I ran across a post once that stated "Always look for the lesson or opportunity in every situation". So that got me thinking about lessons one can learn in ANY situation. I have a feeling that this post needed to be shared.

"No matter what you might be going through or how you are feeling about a certain situation in your life make sure you open your eyes and look for the lesson or opportunity that's right in front of you.

Sometimes things simply don't go our way or work out, that's just life... But there is always something we need to learn from every situation and it's important to ask yourself what you needed to learn or how you could grow from every experience so you don't keep repeating the same mistake over and over again.
Sometimes in our darkest moments or the moments when we feel helpless there is an opportunity for us to change, grow and move in a new more exciting direction and even though it might not feel like it at the time those moments of pain can lead you to something truly amazing and beautiful.
I can assure you I haven't always got it right and things don't always work out for me and sometimes life just disappoints you but one thing I have had to learn is to look for the lesson I need to learn or the pattern I need to break or the opportunity that is opening up for me.

It's hard to shift your focus when you are frustrated, angry or disappointed but if you can just raise your head and shift your focus even for a moment you might just see that very thing that your heart and soul has been searching for.

Life presents us with challenges and hurdles so that we learn and grow and can move towards our highest calling and greatest potential, don't get mad or upset just be calm and see what you can do with the cards you've been dealt. ♥"

About the outfit:
As you know, I love my monochromatic tones :). When I ran across this checked black and white blazer, I had to have it! I paired this look with a pair of faux leather shorts, and a simple white tank.
After a while, I wanted to try something new with my hair that was versatile and a great protective style! This crochet faux locs did the trick...plus it didn't take long AT ALL to complete!
