Learn

From Yourself

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 4 months ago 1 min read
Only we can really 'teach' ourselves

“Your best teacher

is your last mistake.”

On our journey in life,

we are continuously learning

from everything and everyone

around us.

Our parents taught us

how to eat, drink, walk and so many other things.

Why can’t we learn from ourselves

when we come through ‘challenges’ in our lives?

Every ‘mistake’ we make

is something to learn from

and move on from.

I’m sure we made many mistakes

when we were starting to read and write,

but

we learnt, moved on and now

we read and write without even ‘thinking’ about it.

Why is life itself any different?

“We” become our best teacher

when we learn and move on,

hoping and making sure

we never make the same mistake again.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
