Lessons That 2016 Has Left Behind And Here Are Some.

There is always something about the last few days of December-excitement, fear, anticipation and hope for the new year to precede. While we embark on new journey of a new year of life, it never turns out the way we have hoped for. Like always, life makes us face adversity and pass through difficult hurdles. If not, then lucky you!

But, such deadlocks of life are only disguised as a life lesson for us.

We may not accept them initially, but a few things- do hit hard. They stay with us in form of lessons โ€“ that linger onโ€ฆ.
