The older I get, the more I realize that I don’t “learn” life lessons as much as I just finally “accept” them.
Everything I’ve learned on whatever path to wisdom I’ve been on is really just conceding that something I was told earlier is true. Put another way, I have all the advice and lessons I will ever need. Getting wiser is usually just a matter of accepting that they were all true, and I was an idiot for not listening the first time.
I want to write a book: “All the Great Advice I Was Told But Didn’t Listen To.” That’d be a best-seller, I’m sure of it.
