One of the key philosophies I have in life is never to be afraid of trying anything. This may be one of the reasons why my experience is so varied. Also, never be afraid to venture, even if you get hurt or bumped in the process, just go out and do it. Safe has never been my way of looking at life. I could never wake up each morning and be afraid of what am I going to do next. Life is full of challenges and attempting many of those challenges is what makes life interesting and worth living. However, that being said, the greatest lesson that life has taught me is how really insignificant I am in the grand scale of things. There are aspects of one's life where you really are not in control and no matter what you do, it feels as though you are pushing against a mountain. Therefore, I have stopped pushing, instead I let the mountain push me, because sometimes you have to acknowledge, that the mountain is greater than you. So even though life may continually give you lemons, be glad you hhave a citrus orchard.
