Oh, the Lessons We Learn

This is a story about the journey we call life. It takes you down the unknown paths and explores the unexpected twists and turns along the way. It teaches you how the path can seem so serene one minute but also how quickly you can be forced to veer off the beaten path in the next minute. It is the testimony of one who has been knocked down, tripped, and fallen, and who has been lost countless times along the way. One that provides that little glimmer of light at the end of those long dark tunnels of defeat and discouragement, as well as the encouragement for those who have traveled these or similar rugged and ruthless paths. It is a confirmation that there are no coincidences or mistakes in life and that everything happens for a reason. Life is essentially a never-ending lesson, and ultimately you choose how you proceed. Either you can choose to pay attention and learn the lesson so you can move forward, or you can continue to repeat the same lesson until you choose to get it. The choice is yours to make, and only you can decide where you go from here. I encourage you to take this journey with me and to allow me to shed a little light on the lessons that I learned along the way. You need to know that you can and you will rise again and also that it is never too late to begin again. Tie up those boots and let's get started on this journey, shall we?
