This would be a first participating in weekly questions on this community. I tried to locate the post that carried instructions about the weekly prompt but found none. If I do make any mistake, please endeavor to correct me.
Now, unto the question, The Lessons I've learned in life.
I have learned a lot of lessons in this life but the one that has stuck with me or made a great impact on my life is the great lesson of Patience or you can call it Endurance.
All my life, I've had to endure while persevering for a lot of things. Patience is a virtue that most do not possess. Some because they've had the privilege of getting what they want when they want it and others because they just don't care to develop the virtue.
Patience is of great value especially now that the world has gone wild with desire and desperation to be noticed.
I have had to separate myself from a lot of people who've tried my patience countless times. I don't believe in "arriving" because we never do. The day you arrive in life is the day you begin to crash.
You're confused? I'll explain.
Arrival in life is like arriving at a bus-stop at the bus station. One great difference with rich and wealthy people is that the wealthy never arrive. They strive for ways to better themselves, the look to gain more knowledge and are ready to face life from scratch if need be.
What I'm virtually saying is, Patience has taught me a lot. The act of patience alone can carve a new foundation for you no matter who or what you are. It brings out a new strength and places you on a pedestal of excellence.
Life has taught me to be patient. An elephant carries it's young for almost two years and when that young comes to the world it is strong enough to beat down ten cubs (baby lions).
So yeah, I've learned to be patient. To train my endurance muscle.
