If we are lucky, we learn from our mistakes. If we are smart, we learn from other people’s mistakes. If we are brilliant, we look at every life experience as a lesson and we keep our hearts open to all of it.

A child learns to walk by falling down and continuing to get back up and try again. A child learns to speak by first babbling sounds. A child learns to write by first scribbling with a crayon held in a fist.

Our life is based on learning. It is when we decide that there is nothing left to learn that our hearts start to die. We live for a purpose…to seek knowledge.

What is it about certain people that annoy us so? We need to learn how to observe and not react. It is said that the things that annoy us most are the very things that reflect ourselves. May you find peace in your reflection.
