It occured to me this morning after some reflection.
This particular lesson was that discipline & willpower come from emotional detachment, and one should stride forward on their own path regardless of what other influences dictate. It was like an old friend I hadn't spoken with for quite some time.
I don't know why I forget this particular lesson, I always find it and utilize it *after some time* of struggle with certain issues.
Am I making sense?
And yeah, some of you may look at my example as everyday knowledge, but there's always some concept a person can't seem to hold onto permanantly after grasping it. It's very basic, and that could be why it's hard to recognize when things are pulling your attention in several directions.
Kind of like when your eyes play tricks on you and disallow you from seeing certain things based on the background.
