There are so many lessons to learn, all of the time. And I’d love to know what your favorite lessons are from your life? What has someone said to you that has made you pause and change perspective? What advice has someone given you that has always stuck with you? I love this stuff and know others will truly benefit from your thoughts. I know I always do.
