Leaving 2013 wiser: What good things have you learned in the last year?

It isn't so much what I learned in 2013 that matters, it's how it changed me.

I'm starting to be okay with that.

In 2013 I learned:

To be grateful for those who are no longer in my life, grateful for those who remain, and grateful for those who are yet to share in this journey with me.

That now is all we have. I knew it before, but learning how to be present in the now, and learning of the calmness and power of being present is a forever blessing.

That I am not alone, and others see my strengths and gifts even when, at times, I fail to see them.

2013 blessed me with 365 days of learning, so I am certain there is more, but this is a good start on listing some of the things I learned.

About the ego...it's powers and weaknesses. 2013 blessed me with 365 days of learning, so I am certain there is more, but this is a good start on listing some of the things I learned. __________________ “You’re so hard on yourself.
