Think of every accomplishment you have ever had in your life. I am talking to you, the teenager who is 15, the mother or father of said teenager, age 40 something, or the grand and great grandparents of all the aforementioned humans, age 60-100 something. What do all your accomplishments have in common? I am going to hazard a guess that each and every one was preceded by learning something. Learning, then practicing your learning in real life. That is how you can be confident in facing the storms that will come your way.
What are you facing right now, today? Is it out of this category? It is not. All of life is either learning something or practicing what you have learned. It doesn’t matter if it is your 1st love, 5th divorce, 10th job, 50th anniversary, 100th birthday or final illness. There is something to learn and something to practice. If not for yourself, then for those you love.
Drawing and commentary @ Marty Coleman
Quote by Louisa May Alcott, 1832-1888, American novelist. Interesting to note that she was tutored early in her life by Henry David Thoreau and had writing lessons from Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Margaret Fuller. She published her first book of stories at age 17.
