Such a great question.

I remember a time where I was in a shitty situation at my job where I was doing everything and getting none of the credit or praise while my boss took all the glory for myself. I originally figured that I was being used because I was young or my ethnicity but it was truly about the fact my boss wasn’t that intellectually competent for his job so he did what he did because he needed me to survive and not the other way around.

When I left, the entire corporation management team realized he didn’t know what he’s doing in the slightest and eventually fired him.

The unexpected lesson for me was sometimes it’s not because you did anything wrong is why people try to hurt you or take advantage of you, it’s because they don’t know how deal with / acknowledge their own problems or insecurities.

That I can't explain everything. I remember a day where the night was lit up from a nuclear explosion in space. Everyone was telling me about how it was on the news.

Now... even the people there telling me things think I'm full of shit. It never happened.

There is literally no other human that remembers the U. S. nuclear space tests. It just never happened... but It was so real.

Looking back… not having enough food. I went around looking for food in the mountains. I found and ate berries.
i learned I have to be self sufficient…I made some money and bought myself food to eat before 10 years old.
now I am self sufficient and smart enough to bring that to my family. No one needs to go hungry and they too must learn to be self sufficient.

Don't laugh... it sounds cocky... but I remember at the end of a particular challenge thinking... "Damn, I'm good." Before that moment... that hurdle... I had never really thought of myself as more than just basically average.

I wish that moment of self-recognition on everyone. It's healing and uplifting.

I think my unexpected lessons... Is it no matter who you think you are or what you know... It doesn't even matter because there's another level and another level and another level and another level to who you are to who you're going to become in every little Manor and details of your existence...

And there's only one true destiny in this world and that is to become one with self one with others and one with this universe.

Because for each and every one of us who we truly are would blow you away we are all so special is unreal..

And how we are truly made I mean the detail with every fiber put into us

And the faster you can love yourself and love each other and love this world it will change your life forever

We all know right from wrong
. We all know love from hate
We all know positive from negative
We all know happy from sad
We all know God from Satan
We all know life from death
We all know. With every . Action there's a reaction.
But who we truly are will amaze you

I don't know how many times I asked this question because I wanted to prove something

On a certain day on a certain time I wanted us to all on gag do an experiment we choose a topic
. And we all have the same thought at a certain time on a certain day can we change that problem I know we can for a fact. Our thoughts are powerful and when we become one with our thoughts with each other we can change anything it sounds crazy but it's true I still want to do this one day.

And I went from one thing to 20 things lol trying to answer your question I don't know if I can answer it because there's so many things that I want to say
Maybe the unexpected lesson that I've learned is how powerful we all are in such little ways and what we're all here to do and achieve
Right now. Our world is changing so fast everything I believe in scientists are now learning and people are starting to understand who they are in the world is changing to a better place even though it's so negative and our government is still taking and trying to put us down so they can control us it's not going to work that way there is a higher power there is a bigger cause there is something someone more powerful than all the big corporations secret societies all the evil in the world we the people are still more powerful and we have a backer we have the universe we have our God we have our energy right now the world is dividing in many different ways
And people need to figure that out really quick and find themselves because once we divide. . You were either going or remaining it's a choice we all get..
Anyway. Maybe the inspected lesson is no matter who you are become that person because change is coming and it's for the best it's for the most beautiful thing in the world and become one with yourself one with others and one with this universe..

Not even going to reread what I wrote I never do anyway I know I didn't answer your question. Are many lessons in one lesson there's many things we learn in just one step before we put. The next Foot in front of the other... But no matter what we are all in this together or we're not is a choice I choose to be all together that's who we are meant to be... I'll stop babbling now lol

When dealing with cards and life, you have to know when to hold em, know when to fold, know when you walk away, know when to run. You never count your money when you are sitting at the table, there will be plenty of time for counting when the dealings done.

... Also, learn to play with the cards you are dealt

That being a business owner is a lot more difficult than people make it out to be. It is more taxing than just being an employee for a company and can lead to a vast amount of stress if you aren’t balancing out your business correctly. And that becomes harder to do as you get older.
