Unlearned

"There are many ways to measure success; not the least of which is the way your child describes you when talking to a friend."

As we grow as human beings we encounter situations in our day to day life that teach us valuable lessons that me can and must later use in life, when we are faced with a choice. It is then that we show others exactly what we've learned and who we are as a person. It never ceases to amaze me how two people can derive two different lessons from the same situation. But then a current lesson is only a derivative of previous lessons therefore only enhance the person we've decided to become.

There are some lessons that are not only learned by way of experience but by directly being taught. These lessons are simple ones and they include but are not limited to sharing, helping, courteousness, kindness, apologizing, and honesty. Yet, the simplest of lessons are the hardest for some people to learn. Grasping such things seems to be way beyond their ability to function as an individual. Basic human emotions such as compassion, friendship, caring, and kindness also fall just beyond the comprehension of people, no matter what trials occur.

Every choice you make ends in a lesson. What lessons have you learned that make you a better person? What lessons have you learned that has had a negative effect? What lessons have you long forgotten? It's never too late to re-evaluate yourself. It's also never to too late to try and fix any mistakes that you may have had made as a result of those lessons.
