I'm learning as fast as I can!

It has been said that every experience in life is designed to teach us something. If we don't master that lesson it will repeat itself until we do. I'm a teacher so I get this.
My question is what is life trying to teach me and am I getting it? I naturally look for patterns in my experiences. If I notice a pattern, there's a high probability of that event happening again.
What has life taught you and are you learning?
