Week 51: Life Lessons

Ahh.... some of the biggest lessons I've learned in life thus far..... wow.  Loaded, yet so simple, too!
 
Revisiting a July post of the same topic, here's a few more to add to the list:

  • Sometimes the "how" and "why" are not as important as we try to make them.  Sometimes it's only important to look at the "now" and move forward.  
  • Sometimes pain is a powerful teacher.
  • If nothing changes, nothing changes.
  • Letting go can hurt more than holding on, but it is a hurt that doesn't last as long.

Life is full of lessons.  The question is, are we ready to learn from them?

  1. Hello Ms Purple Dreamer.

    No truer words than these:

    "Sometimes the "how" and "why" are not as important as we try to make them. Sometimes it's only important to look at the "now" and move forward."

    Hope you are well my friend.

    1. The funny thing, Kylie-Rose, is that before I realized this was the topic of the week, I was drafting a post on hows/whys and how they mess with me. Made for a perfect addition to this post!

  2. If nothing changes, nothing changes - that is a very good reminder for me right now. Thank you.

  3. "Sometimes pain is a powerful teacher."

    Goodness oh my, it's so true, isn't it!

    Some of the most painful things in my life did an incredible job at teaching me things I would've never known otherwise.

    Thinking of you, and hoping you're well.

    1. Exactly - the pain may suck at the time, big time, but what we learn from it? Wow.
