Life experiences

As I reflect on my past, I realize that there are various experiences in my life that shape who I am today. Sometimes, I didn't even know that I was learning a small lesson through that experience until I reminisced about it. And many times, I was willing to try a new experience thinking I'd get X, Y, & Z out of it, and I ended up by getting X, Y, Z, and many other unexpected life lessons too.

Reminder to self - It is important to keep an open mind on things because you might learn something new when you least expect it. Putting mental barriers up can only retard the growth you gain from life experiences.
