Did you ever look back on your life and think, “GOSH, I wish I’d learned that lesson a long time ago?” You think you have a handle on how life works and only to discover after a few relationships, difficult challenges, and misguided assumptions that you’ve been missing something valuable. But…we end up spending too much time sweating over things unnecessarily instead of focusing on what is important in life. It seems ‘life lessons’ are called that for a reason! The lessons learned in life are a byproduct of life itself.
