If I learned one lesson… 15 December 2020

If I learned one lesson about life, it’s to live it to the full in every moment

If I learned one lesson about being hurt, it’s about how to forgive

If I learned one lesson about loving it’s about first loving enough to be loved

If I learned one lesson about pain it’s that it will always pass

If I learned one lesson about happiness it’s that thought at times it may be fleeting it will always return

If I learned one lesson about grief, it’s that it always equals how much I felt love

If I learned one lesson about anger it’s that it’s a natural indulgence that always covers hurt

If I learned one lesson about judgement of others it’s that it always invites judgement of myself

If I learned one lesson about children, it’s that they give us more than we could ever invest in them

If I learned one lesson about peace it’s that it only takes one heart to start the process and that heart needs to be my own.
