Love is a lesson worth learning.
A lesson will keep repeating itself until it is learned. Life first will send the lesson to you in the size of a pebble; if you ignore the pebble, then life will send you a brick; if you ignore the brick, life will send you a brick wall; if you ignore the brick wall, life will send you a demolition truck.
There is a lesson in almost everything that you do, and getting the lesson is how you move forward. It is how you enrich your spirit.
If all this happened to you what paradigm might you develop? How might that paradigm affect you in terms of your life from that point on? What does this tell you about Abe? There are no failures, only lessons to be learned.
You need to dream a bigger dream for yourself. That is the lesson. Hold the highest vision possible for your life and it can come true.
I truly understand that there is a lesson in everything that happens to us. So I tried not to spend my time asking "Why did this happen to me?" but trying to figure out why I had chosen this.
One of the biggest lessons I've learned recently is that when you don't know what to do, you should do nothing until you figure out what to do because a lot of times you feel like you are pressed against the wall, and you've got to make a decision. You never have to do anything. Don't know what to do? Do nothing.
So, that is my final lesson from the universe - you just do what you need to do, and stay on track.
Failure is a great teacher and, if you are open to it, every mistake has a lesson to offer.
Lessons often come dressed up as detours and roadblocks
What I know for sure is that behind every catastrophe, there are great lessons to be learned. Among the many that we as a country need to get is that as long as we play the "us and them" game, we don't evolve as people, as a nation, as a planet.
If it doesn't feel right, don't do it. That is the lesson, and that lesson alone will save you a lot of grief.
The greatest lesson of life is that you are responsible for your life.
I speak to millions every day, but it's different one-on-one when people have paid to hear you say something meaningful.
