If you refuse to learn a lesson, life will simply repeat it.Do you keep dating the same type of toxic person? Do you keep hitting the same financial wall? That is not bad luck; that is a lesson you haven't accepted yet. The class continues until the student passes.3. The Price of Admission: Humility To learn, you must first admit that you don't know."Willingness" means dropping the "I am right" shield. It requires the courage to say, "Maybe I am the problem."
