What Has Been The Most Valuable Lesson, You Have Learnt In Life?
Life is full of lessons, sometimes we let them pass us by and other times we embrace them. Every difficult moment we experience, brings with it an opportunity to learn. Indeed we sometimes find ourselves, experiencing similar situations, because we still have a lesson to learn.
This latest question, provided an opportunity for everyone to share, one of their most valuable life lessons. One thing I love about this platform, is the diversity of people that share their content on here. Allowing us to take a glimpse into their lives and share in some of their wisdom.
There is no denying, that we have so much to learn from one another. So it is important to provide opportunities, in which we can share our experiences and create better understanding better us all, as we move forward.

CANCER
The C-word, the one word that strikes the fear of God in our souls.
One in every three Americans will fight it. How many win the fight? How many succumb to the assault on their life at the cellular level? How many survivors do TED talks telling us how they pictured their immune systems working at the molecular level to heal: Body, Heal Thyself! And it works; their tumors shrink. They walk again, run marathons, win bicycle races (Lance Armstrong).
Life will either bless you or busy you, someone once said. It's not what others say about you that matters but what you say to yourself when others are done talking. The pains and hurts that I have gone through in life have opened my eyes to so many things. I have learnt resilience and patience from the things I've gone through. Life is filled with an abundance of lessons but most people are not learning because they are reacting rather than responding.
Self-belief is the most important lesson I've learned in my life. Have faith in yourself and your ability. Do whatever you want in life with the confidence that you will attain it to your full capacity. Never mistrust your own abilities. Your prospects of success will be ruined if you have self-doubt. It is your own self-perception that is important. Don't listen to what others have to say about you, brother. Concentrate on your life's major objectives.

>You know these two phrases; what you see is what you get and the more you look, the less you see. I believe both of them work hand in hand but most people do not realise this. The first one, I've seen play out on many occasions. That first thing you see, better believe it is what you're getting.
The second phrase comes in here when we ignore what we see at first. That's why when we get familiar with something, we tend to forget what our initial thoughts about that particular thing was. When we look more, we actually see less. I hope I'm not confusing anybody. LOL
As a kid, you'll never know what life really is, you'll never know why you are where there, you'll never know what it means to come to this world or why you are even in this world or why you are a member of the family you belong to. That's me, I didn't really know what I really am till my teenage age and it's not because of anything, it's because I wasn't brought up with love.

>The most valuable lesson I've ever learnt is to breathe.
Ah, you laugh, I know. Breathing is just what we do. A baby doesn't need to learn to breath, but simply breaths. The universe fills the space of our lungs, we exhale, and over and over again the process repeats.
Sixteen times an minute, on average.
960 breaths an hour. 23,040 breaths a day. 8,409,600 a year. 672,768,000 breaths in eighty years, give or take.
Change is Necessary. We need to and had to keep changing ourselves for good and be the better version of oneself. There is no need to be stubborn or egoistic in life, we don't have to be always perfect. Don't overburden yourself being the best, it's ok to keep learning from the mistakes and improve yourself.
I would like to share with you a few reflections about change.
