A Learning Experience

A Learning Experience 


 Life is a learning experience. Life is one of the most difficult things, and you should understand you get better at it as you go along. Don't let life beat you down, as what hurts now will no longer be a pain later on. We tend to panic when life seems to be too much, but do we realize, that all of life's greatest lessons are the harsh ones? You should always be a student of life, and learn from it every step of the way.


 Life doesn't seem to care about our own conventions of what is fair and unfair. We probably will come up against many times in our life when we simply do not know what to do. Life gives you sometimes what seems like more than you can handle. The only thing you can do is relax, and prepare to learn. Life is harsh, I know, but it gets so much better as it goes along. This is the process of life, where those with wisdom and experience can handle what seems like everything beneath the sun. They have stood the test of time, and their reward is a long and prosperous life. You, one day, will be like them. Don't fear, my friend, for you are also going to be a student of life. Is there any better honor than to be the student of the grand teacher, life itself?


 When I was younger, like any young adult, I thought I had it all figured out. Oh boy, was I wrong. Even to this day, at the age of 33, I'm still learning quite a bit. Life is the most zealous of all teachers. She is the one who will reward all of those who are patient. What does life have to offer the student, you wonder? The experience of life is the most sweet of all nectars, and the tricks you learn from drinking of its chalice makes you feel wonderful and splendid. Life nourishes all of those who wish to learn, and likewise kills all of those who go through the storm blindly. Do you have the resolve to learn from the harshest of all teachers, life and its murderous nature? Life kills all of those who go through all of her lessons, but I will tell you something, she is much more than a cruel mistress. Life is a divinity in itself, as those who will herald her will reap the fruits of success. 


 You don't have to be the oldest or the most noble to learn from life. Life is something experienced best in chunks, even if you want to rush through it as fast as you can. When we are younger, we always dream of being older. Oh, how foolish we are when we are young! To think, that we believe that any sort of actual wisdom comes from being older. Wisdom is the gift that comes with those who participate in life actively. Life wants students who don't sit on the sideline. Trust me, it's too hard to learn from life as a casual observer. Get in there, and live like it's the last day of your life. Don't look back and regret what you couldn't be a part of years down the road. Live the experience we call life, and learn from its bittersweet lessons. Ciao!
