My Native American Heritage

"In the Cherokee belief, the first 50 years of our lives are lived in making every possible mistake; in working off old karma; in learning lessons that are sometimes very hard and very difficult (especially if we're slow learners ;}); in finding one brick wall after another to run into.
Toward the end of our 50th year, we have cleared our spirits, learned our lessons, and have gained valuable insights and experiences that allow us to be of true value to ourselves and others.
On our 51st birthday, our way is clear and we set our feet on the true path that is to be our destiny for this earth walk.

The Beloved Women were the final decision makers in the Cherokee culture, and they were not even considered for this honor and responsibility until they were 51.
No position of authority and leadership was considered for anyone until they reached 51 -- under the "normal" course of events, that is.

Of course, there were tragedies and unusual events that may have put someone in such a position younger in their life, but they were watched carefully for errors in judgment.

So, you see, you should look at these challenges and events that give you such pain as exactly what they are: the learning and tempering Spirit has given you in order that you may live your destiny fully.
Don't be discouraged and sad.
Be joyful!! The best is yet to come."
