What is the best lesson life has taught you?

I just realized that every event or circumstance in life is interconnected with each other. One thing happens to make way for another thing to happen. Everything just happens for a reason. And if we are just keen enough to connect every unfolding of events in our lives, we will discover and be amazed with how everything seemed to be planned. Every detail in every happenning is important to other things that will come and that has come. and if just learn to trust with all our heart that God is indeed in control, we will find out we are all winners in this game called life...

that nothing in life is free. everything has a price to it, that's why money makes the world go round.

True..I notice not everything online is free.There are sites that one needs to subscribe first before being able to access all the materials.

well geez... i don't know if there is only one life lesson that has changed my life or has taught me something. I have learned so much. from all the good and all of the not so good. I think one of the most important lessons that i learned is to live in the moment. to not focus on yesterday no worry about tomorrow. to deal with and focus on the right here and the right now. Forgivness is another great life lesson. I am really blessed to have taking all the things i have dealth with and make them into something positive.

Life has taught me that you must keep your head up everyday and keep working hard at everything thats going on in your life. Praise on the positives and tell yourself next time will be better for the bad. This has kept me less stressed out and in a better mood all the time. When I am happy things go good for me and when I get upset they go bad. So now instead of beating myself up over spilled milk, I look at the positives and go from there!

Life taught me what's my purpose in this life. That,i don't live to eat and work and plan for my future and for my family alone,but also,i had to live for other people to achieve life. In every way,and anyway to help those who are in need,esp strangers that needs our help without asking or begging us to do so. Life taught me to accept life in it's simplest form. And not to complain. Have a good day always

Wise words! I agree, everything we experience in our lives teach us something that we will use, or need to use again down the road. That is not to say that we won't have heartbreak or sorrow, but if everyone were able to focus on the positive things that they learned from each experience, the world would be a better place. I think a lot of the time, people dwell on the negative and actually allow the negative to affect the positive things. Basically, it boils down to just what you said, "Let go, and let God."

Have patience and keep faith…the best lesson I’ve learnt the hard hard way. I really don’t know if there is a God somewhere or whether I’m protected but I’ve gone thru a lot of upheavals in life thru completely unaccustomed situations, times where when I was sure that I had reached the bottom of endurance but somehow just at snapping point, it did not snap…I was always hauled back! Now again, I’m at the edge of the abyss…my job of 12 years is about to go in a couple of months and at the late 30s its not exactly easy looking for another new job…so once again, I’m holding on, keeping faith and hoping that maybe this time too, there’s something better for me at the end of all this uncertainty.

that time and chance happens to us all. you just have to make God the center of your life. i always want to do things on my own-- own time, own ability, own power. i know i am incorrigible and i sometimes don't heed advice. and guess what, i always stumble.

I have realized many things and one of things that life has taught me is that I need to rely on myself as we can't rely on others all the time...
