We work to master 12 primary attributes of life in our experience as humans. With each life we ​​choose a primary life lesson to work with and continue to work on it in consecutive lives until we achieve “mastery” of that unique attribute.

As you read the lesson list, you may recognize one or more of the attributes. These are life lessons that you have already mastered in this or previous lives. There will be a blind spot in recognizing your current primary lesson. This is where an Overlight facilitator can help you identify your main life lesson. All of these lessons may come your way in this lifetime, but it is usually one of the ones that will have the biggest effect on your behaviors. It is like a student choosing a major to focus on, but will study other subjects as well.

1. Acceptance; Self-esteem, most of the time it is taken in the female form, but it is not limited to it. It is also described as self-sabotage, whereby a person “will do everything right but it still doesn’t seem to work.”

2. Adaptation; This is the ability to adapt to change. This lesson makes people do their best to keep everything in balance in their life. They believe that to be successful they need to prevent everything from changing. They often have a hard time making any decision that involves change. It doesn’t always seem to be a problem in their lives until they are faced with a drastic change and realize they are not ready for it.

3. Be; In this lesson, people believe that they are not complete and have a need to constantly add something to become complete. It can be food, relationships, alcohol, or drugs. It can be an obsession of any kind, and it can easily turn into addiction and often does.

4. Charity; Charity is walking in the constant awareness of the connection with all things in all actions. It has been interpreted to mean giving, but charity is not the art of giving alone. Charity is about honoring the connection you have with all people in action. When your actions honor all people, you are the one who stands up. A person working with the life lesson of charity has a blind spot when it comes to paying attention to other people’s needs. They may seem selfish or just plain indifferent.

5. Communication; From the heart. This lesson is more popular with men. Expressing your feelings and making your needs known sincerely is very difficult. They may be prone to reverting to silence when they are tired or stressed. This lesson makes success in relationships very difficult.

6. Creation; Expressing power. In working to master this lesson, the person cannot see their own creations or their ability to create. Belief in lack and sometimes perfectionism often provide the perfect excuse for a person not to believe for themselves. In our society, mostly adopted in female form, where the man has traditionally been the most supported to create. Add to this a lack of self-confidence and you will have wives who often hide their creations from their partners or create through their spouses giving the illusion that it is the spouse who is the creator. If this relationship ends, the husband’s success often seems to fail for no reason. Understanding the power one has to create is the key to mastering this lesson.

7. Definition; Expressing infidelity across borders. This is a very popular lesson for women. They carry emotional empathy. They tap into the emotions, thought patterns, and energy of others so easily that they often do not realize that it is not their own energy that they are feeling. Your challenge in this lesson is to keep that energy from feeding and draining you. Limits are the key factor in this life lesson.

8. Integrity; Walking in harmony with yourself. The four lines of integrity are what you say, how you act, what you think, what you believe. If one or more of these lines does not match the others, the sent vibration becomes blurry and unclear. When a fuzzy signal is sent, a fuzzy result is returned in all of this person’s life experiences.

9. Love; Self love. People who experience this lesson can often seem to give love to everyone and everything, sometimes just out of fear of being alone. A person working on this life lesson can often get caught in a cycle of fear. Fear that if they are left alone there will be no one to love them. The key to mastering this lesson is the ability to love yourself.

10. Trust; Trust in yourself. This is a lesson that is easy to understand and difficult to master. These souls venture into constantly reinforcing situations that they cannot trust themselves. This lesson is usually set by a person, perhaps their mother or father, who abuses them, so the individual learns not to trust anyone. It makes it difficult for them to trust themselves to take their own power. They don’t trust themselves enough to allow themselves to be vulnerable. Once this life lesson is mastered, these people are seen walking through life with an inner sense of direction. They trust themselves enough that they don’t need to know.

11. Truth; Personal responsibility. People who go through this lesson will find it difficult to discern and stand firm in their own truth. Thus, the tendency will always be to adopt the truth of others as one’s own. They can see themselves completely through the eyes of others. They often become unable to be truly honest with themselves. Outwardly, they may lie and make excuses, rather than being honest about what is really going on in their life. Once you begin to take responsibility for your own reality, mastery of this life lesson will begin.

12. Grace; Walking in harmony with all things. This is the final step towards mastery. This is a lesson that teaches that destiny is not important. It is the journey and the grace with which you experience this journey that is important. How often do you wake up and say, “I love my life, I can’t wait to see what this day has in store for me”? This may sound like a simple positive thought, but it is so much more. When you see yourself as a player in the “game” of life and allow yourself to play the game gracefully, then mastering all the lessons becomes not only easier but even enjoyable.
