Lessons!

Thoughts about life’s lessons…

I pray the “Serenity prayer” everyday and of course observing these quotes…

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

“Love cannot remain by itself — it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action and that action is service.” Mother Teresa

“We are not put on this earth for ourselves, but are placed here for each other. If you are there always for others, then in time of need, someone will be there for you.” Jeff Warner

And these final thoughts…

Life is a series of lessons, some of which are learned easily, while others are more challenging. There is potential to learn valuable lessons from every situation life brings your way. It can be hard to focus on what you might learn along the way when you find yourself navigating a difficult situation, but it can be comforting to remember that there is a lesson in there somewhere.

Success doesn’t look the same for everyone.

Life is too short to say yes to things you don’t want to do.

Lessons learned the hard way will stick with you forever.

Take no satisfaction in the failure of others. Learn from it.

Harbor no resentment at the success of others. Learn from it.

Learn from what works, from what doesn’t work. Learn from sparkling new ventures and grand old stories.

Learn from the pain, and from the pleasure too. Learn from what amazes you, what repulses you, what drains you, what energizes you.

Learn by challenging what you know. Learn by admitting what you don’t know.

Life’s lessons contain some of its greatest value. Seize every opportunity to learn, and claim that value for your own.
