Have you 'absorbed' the experiences you have had in your life? If the word absorb means to take in, you can also interpreter it as to make it part of you. Therefore, absorbing your past experiences means to realize that what you are now is formed by all you have experienced in the past. Every single action, thought, word has contributed to form the individual that you are now. Try to recall something that happened long ago, remember what you said or did, and how the 'others' reacted. Now bring back to memory the way you felt afterwards. Did other similar situations occurred with the same outcome? Several times? If your answer is yes, you can infer that there was a repeating pattern. Was the outcome positive or negative?Assess the impact of such experiences on yourself: if you understood their meaning, you learned your lesson. This knowledge has become part of you. Just as the absorbed water becomes one with the sponge.
