Lesson Learned

What was the best thing you learned about yourself this past year? And how will you apply that lesson going forward?

Best. I struggle with words like these, that define something as being paramount over any other thing. it's just not that simple to me. There are no "bests" of anything... Even when I actually use the term, it's with the understanding that I'm actually speaking about things in a relative manner. I even have more than one "best friend".

So. I don't know what the "best" thing I learned about myself this past year was. There were many important lessons I learned (last post as evidence there). And I've been applying them, being gentle with myself, caring with myself, patient with myself, to allow myself to learn more. But I simply cannot identify any one particular thing I learned that was "the best".
