Lesson Learned

I think it is amazing how we put so much importance and value upon other people - especially people who have hurt us. I have reached a point in my life where I am realizing that there is no struggle or agony, just lessons learned over time. There is no regret or mistakes - just lessons learned.


I have learned to love, without losing myself. I have learned to give, without betraying who I am. I learned it through life lessons, not mistakes. The things I went through were for a purpose, so I could learn something about myself that I did not know before.

Lesson Learned by Alicia Keys

Yes I was burned but I called it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned
So I call it a lesson learned
My soul has returned
So I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned


Sometimes
Some lies
Can take a minute
To fully realize
His tears
Your eyes
Thirty seconds to apologize
You give it one more chance
Just like the time before
But he already know you'd give a hundred more
Until that night in bed
You wake up in a sweat
You're racing to the door
Can't take it anymore


I was burned but I called it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned
So I call it a lesson learned
My soul has returned
So I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned


Life perfect
Ain't perfect
If you don't know what the struggle's for
Falling down ain't falling down
If you don't cry when you hit the floor
It's called the past cause I'm getting past
And I ain't nothing like I was before
You ought to see me now

I challenge you all to not look at your pains, struggles, obstacles or fears in the here and now. Look through these things and search for the lesson. Look for the growth and love that life has in store for you. You are nothing like you were yesterday and not even half of what you will be tomorrow, your "soul has returned" so call it a lesson learned.
