#Gratitude30 Day 19's prompt is: Lessons you’ve learned

"Lessons you've learned" is the prompt for day 19 of @positivelypresent's #Gratitude30 challenge. We are invited to reflect on lessons we've learnt and to be thankful for the ways these lessons have changed our lives.

One major lesson, for me, has been practice, practice, practice. One has to dedicate the self, the time and the energy towards doing the thing. What thing? Anything.

Have a busy mind? Practice by committing to the things that bring quiet - meditation, breathing, rest.

Working on improving a skill? Practice by making time each day to work on it.

Practice will look different for each of us but we must commit, build our discipline, and do the things. When we do this our lives will change as we expand our understanding and abilities.
