Lessons Learned

Perhaps one of the hardest lessons to ever learn in life is that people, as a whole, rarely change.

Sure we grow and do things differently and learn to go about situations in different ways that may benefit us more, but generally what you do innately is who you are and how you will be your entire life.

Personally, I've wasted entirely too much time in my life hoping to see people change to what I think they are capable of or to their "full potential". What I've learned is that sometimes what I feel they are capable of is entirely too far out of reach for them. Sometimes what people show you IS their full potential, and you are nobody to expect anything more.

The key to all of this is learning when to let go and realize your own potential and when those people hold you back from reaching your best.

As always, we live and learn.
