As you strive to learn and grow, remember these truths about life:

Rule #1: You will learn lessons.

Rule #2: There are no mistakes - only lessons.

Rule #3: A lesson is repeated until it is learned.

Rule #4: If you don't learn the easy lessons, they get harder. (Pain is one way the universe gets your attention.)

Rule #5: You'll know you've learned a lesson when your actions change.
