3 Life Lessons

Although there are many reasons that our souls come to earth, one of the main reasons I believe we come here is to learn a valuable lesson. If we did not learn this lesson through out a life time, our souls would come back to repeat the process. I believe I have learned a few lessons from my time here on earth. One lesson I have learned is to never take things or people for granted. At some point in our lives, we realize that we take things for granted, we take each other for granted. Meaning we get so comfortable in having certain things in our lives and certain people around us. It is when we no longer have those things or people that we come to the realization that we have taken things for granted. It’s natural to get comfortable. It’s human nature. We can’t help ourselves. It is wise to stop and think about the things we do have, instead of complaining about what we don’t because one day, what you once had, how you once lived, who you once had in your life; will no longer be there. People habituate affection and cripple the finest part of life. So appreciate everything while it is here. Be grateful, give thanks to God and above all, let those in your life today know that you care about them and that you are grateful they are in your life. Another life lesson I have learned is to not be afraid to make mistakes. Whenever we try anything new, we might make some mistakes. We can’t possibly know everything that’s going to happen when we try something new. Sometimes we just have to try something before we can learn about it. Mistakes are a part of life. As Einstein said, the only people who don’t make mistakes are those who don’t try anything new. If there’s something you have a burning desire to do, don’t let the fear of making mistakes hold you back. We are not perfect. We are a mere blip on the timeline of existence. Life existed long before we came here and it will continue long after we’re gone. You were only

    One of the most important I learned is that the problem with balancing things isn’t always an external problem sometimes the simplest thing is what gives the most trouble which is just accepting that there has to be a change in your lifestyle and working with it, or in the worst case scenario is that you would have to up something, for me it was just a little free time. You should realize that just because you give something up doesn’t mean it’s gone forever, because once you’ve learned to balance the things you need to you could always just and more things to the act.…

    The novel "A lesson before dying" by Ernest Gaines, exemplifies that the most significant lesson to learn before dying is that you are worth something no matter what society deems you to be, and as long as you show your humanity and dignity, it does not matter what society thinks. We see this through the thoughts, actions, words, and experiences of the characters in the novel. We mostly see this through Jefferson, Reverend Ambrose, and Miss Emma. Sometimes we doubt our worth for many different reasons and at different times, but as long as we can learn our worth before we die, all will be…
