What is the most important lesson you have learned?
I think that lessons are learned over time so what might be
the most important lesson to me today might not even be relevant tomorrow. I
think the most important lesson that holds true for everyone is that nothing
good can last forever. I have spent a very long time trying to get through life
and every time something good comes along I wish that it could last me for
eternity, but I know that it will not last. It is a devastating concept but one
that we all must grasp in order to continue living. It is never a good thing to
get stuck in the past and as soon as something happens it becomes part of the
past so we have to move on. I have never been the bearer of good news but I
like to say that it could always be worse.
The roller coaster of life is usually a slope of good times
followed by a slump but you always have to hope that you will get back up
sooner. When bad things happen to me I complain but I have no choice but to
look forward to better things happening in the future. Because of this I spend
most of my time trying to enjoy the present instead of think about the future.
The future may never come and no one is certain that they will live through the
day so in the meantime you have to enjoy the little moments of happiness and
deal with the disappointments of sadness.
Nothing can last as long as we want it to, so for now the
best lesson that we can keep in mind is that it is probably best to just enjoy
the little things that surround us when they are right in front of us and hope
that we can get through life without as many slumps and more favorable experiences
to keep us from hating life. Considering life’s unpredictability this is
probably the best outcome that we can hope for.
Life is full of little lessons,
