Your whole life is a spiritual lesson we are here to learn. We are here in this world, in this human life, at this time of history to learn what we need to learn. When I read about people who tell about their past lives, many of them express similar ideas. One of them is that they are here to fulfill something, to learn something and I feel the same way about my life. I am here in this human life to learn something, to fulfill some duties or obligations or whatever you might call it. When you understand your life from that perspective, from that angle, then everything in your life becomes meaningful.
