We have all heard that expression. To me it means that when we continually take chances, have near misses, and don’t learn from our mistakes right off the bat.....then one day we are FORCED to learn the lesson through a hard, painful and uncomfortable way.
When that forced lesson comes upon us, we regret (or not) that we didn’t choose to learn it sooner. Life’s lessons are for a purpose...that we might grow and progress to be the very best we can be.
With our learned experience, we can in turn, help others learn. Obedience to laws....whether nature’s, man’s, or God’s....temper us that we may be molded and refined into wonderful beings.
