When Life is a Brick Wall

When Life is a Brick Wall

I walked in the house and my mother was sitting on the couch.  I was in the tenth grade and I resided with my mother in a condominium.  I stopped while walking down the long hallway towards my room and I felt something different.  I turned around and walked back to where my mother was sitting.  I noticed what I had not noticed when I walked in, which was my mother was tearful.  I sat next to her and asked her what was wrong, she then proceeded to tell me that she could no longer pay for the rent and the landlord was bringing people by today to look at the condo.

I thought immediately, “Not again.”  I sat next to my mother and told her it would be ok.  But I did not know if it actually would be ok.  My mother gave me intangible wealth that made me the person I am today.  But, my childhood was plagued with many financial issues because my mother tried to give my sister and I a life that would offer us opportunities.  What she did not understand is that the wisdom she gave me offered more opportunity than any tangible thing.

My mother continuously ran into brick walls because she was chasing something that she already had which was wealth.  If she would have embraced the wisdom, the perseverance, the strength, and the ideas that she had within, this intangible wealth would have led her to the tangible. 

We run across brick walls for many different reasons.  The main reason is because we are not listening to the lessons which God or the universe is trying to teach us.  These are hard lessons but they are necessary lessons.  The lessons are different for each person and the lessons help us get to the next point in life.

It’s what you do when you hit the brick wall that is so important.
