What I'Ve Learned

The seasons will come and go Life truly never remains the same There will be trials and tribulations There will be immense joys and heart breaking pains This is what I've learned In my brief time here I’m for sure, money doesn't buy happiness And our biggest problem is irrational fear We waste so much precious time We focus on the future, and are consumed by the past We’re preoccupied Oblivious to the fact, that this day could be our last So, let me tell you what I've learned In my journey along the way You can lead a horse to water But we have to know when it's time to walk away Education is of utmost importance It opens the world and sets us free It keeps us humble It allows us to reach our destiny In this life, there's only one thing we can change And that change begins and ends with you It's very rare that we’re a victim And character, it's not something we can buy, it's what we do So always do the right thing Never ever tell a lie Be content with our impermanence Acceptance allows us to fully live and cherish life We must learn to see obstacles as opportunities They build incredible strength in our lives Say Yes to all life's experiences Because challenges build equity in you and I You learn that money is the by-product Of loving what you do Continually seek out your passion That's where your wildest dreams come true I've learned to live in the moment I listen to every single word I serve others I let my actions speak so loud that they are always heard I've learned to have self-compassion Be vulnerable, be kind Stop judging myself That's the path to a healthy mind These are the greatest things I’ve learned Always strive to do what’s right This is your life’s purpose Now give purpose and meaning back to life
