Wisdom From My Ancestors

New Moon ♌️

I’ve recently been doing some work with my ancestry, more specifically, looking into the characters of my immediate ancestors of the past four generations. This was both from my Paternal and Maternal sides.

From what either side of my family can tell me of them, I have taken their personalities and lives into mind and broke these down into lessons in order learn from them. And so I’d like to share this little storehouse of wisdom with you:

Three Knowings From My Ancestors:

Know when to stop,

Know when to forgive yourself;

Know when to let go.

As much as we keep ourselves preoccupied with what must be done, or be engaged in our pursuits. We must stop and pay attention to those who are closest to us and their needs.

As much as what we do may be important, no matter how vital, we must accept that mistakes can and will happen. And that’s ok!

As much as a negative experience might affect us, holding onto its pain and the anger from it will only fuel resentment and bitterness. Take the lesson you can from it and move on.

This was the “harvest” from my workings and I wanted to share it with you. What lessons can you take from your families?
