THE LESSONS LEARNED

Life sure teaches you some hard lessons sometimes doesn't it?  Some of those lessons are the outcomes of situations we have created ourselves and others are thrust upon us.

I have always admired those people in my life whom I consider wise beyond their years. I know now that most of those people have gained wisdom through their own lessons they have learned through living through incredible odds and interesting situations.

You can't rush wisdom but rather have to live your life and experience those things that bring you all of the emotions, trials and celebrations that make up who you are today. It is through these learnings that knowledge comes.

Taking away those experiences and embracing all of it as a piece of your life that you have been able to learn from is the key.
