Contemplating Lessons
Today, lessons are on my mind. More life lessons than school type lessons, but those play into the picture, too.
Though I don’t think I have enough years on me to say I have lived a long life or learned as many things that those who are older than me have learned, I know I have learned my fair share.
I think life lessons are infinitely harder to learn than school lessons. Life lessons aren’t so cut and dry. Life certainly doesn’t come with a syllabus, though I know many of us often wish that it did. For the most part, lessons seem to come through strife or determination.
And yet, I have learned many things - especially about myself - through positive events. They may have been hard to achieve at the time, but the experiences left me a better person.
What life lessons have you learned? Did any come at a cost? What would you say is the hardest lesson to learn? Are there any lessons you have liked learning? Are there lessons you had to be taught more than once?
Remember, to help clear your mind before you start writing, take a few deep breaths. Focus on the sound of the air entering and leaving your lungs. Let the noises and worries of the day fade for a few moments while you focus only on breathing.
After you are calm, think about your experiences and start writing.
Wishing you heaps of creativity, a generous muse and heaps of time to write. Feel free to check in here with your progress for the day/week/month/etc.
