CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL 
Following in the path of the books, I would really love to read your stories of learning life lessons. Perhaps tales of real turning points in your life where you had an experience that really made you think differently about life, changed your outlook or shaped your morals and the person you've become today. Thankfully I grew up in a loving and structured environment with brilliant parents who gave me great tools, but there is only so much they can give you before you begin to learn on your own. My personal experience was thanks to my parents actually.
One of the main things I have carried with me thanks to them was to always be kind as you never know what others are dealing with. However, it was on my own that I learned to never bite the hand that feeds you. Although these may seem like simplistic things, it is only as I have gotten older and sadly lost people dearly close to me, I came to realise we are not on this earth plane forever, life really is so precious and fragile.
I look back and regret some of the times I have been hasty or snappy/argumentative with my mother when she and my father have literally done so much its unbelievable, they have gone way above and beyond and it has made me so much more grateful. Instead, I now relish in every opportunity to do the small things because that's what matters to me now. Hearing stories of other peoples fractured relationships or lack of support from their loved ones and unfortunate circumstances has over the last few years made me re-think, and also given me a bit of a reality check for which I will be forever grateful!
What do you have to say from the good times and the bad? Pass on some inspiration!
Love and peace
