Lessons I Have Learnt

My view on life is that we are here to learn, to grow as individuals and to realise that life is an adventure with many things to show us. I believe that we walk this path many times until we have learned all our lessons. I know I am learning every day.
I have learnt not to be so uptight about time keeping - it does not matter if I am a little bit late, I don't have to break my neck trying to keep appointments.
I have learned to listen to my angels, to trust them and turn to them when I need them, they are always there for me. They always were, I just didn't recognise the fact.
I have learned to be patient - if something is going to happen, it will eventually and I must not push it.
I have learned to stop being such a control freak! Let other people take the lead, take some of the burden if they are willing, let other people help me. It makes for a smoother ride.
I have learned that there is a master plan for us all - I have felt it very strongly lately, as if I am being pushed along a railway track towards my destination. Don't push against it, go with the flow. I am a happier person for doing that.
I have learned to like myself for who I am, and to accept the fact that I am not perfect, that I am very occasionally wrong (!) and I am now comfortable in my own skin. I do not need everybody to like me anymore.
I have learned to love and to be loved. The hardest lesson of all but the one that brings you the most rewards. I recognise that I am fiercely protective of those I love, be they friend, family or lover, but at the same time, I need to feel protected and safe too. I consider myself very lucky that I have friends and family and parts of my jigsaw whom I love and who love me in return. If you learn nothing else as you travel, learn that lesson.
