Experience has an impact on our every-day lives. If you sit down for a second, and think of all the choices you’ve made based on experiences you’ve had, you’d be sitting down for a very long time. We all have good experiences, some more than others, but I’m sure that we all have bad experiences as well, and will have more in the future. This is life.

The point I’m trying to make is that you must learn from your experiences, both the good and the bad. We must never let these experiences have a negative impact on our lives in the present moment. Our minds can play tricks on us, we all know that. Here are some quotes on experience for all of you to learn from:

All that I know I learned after I was thirty. – George Clemenceau

Every moment is an experience. – Jake Roberts

Experience is the teacher of all things. – Julius Caesar

Few people even scratch the surface, much less exhaust the contemplation of their own experience. – Randolph Bourne

The years teach much which the days never know. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
