Giving birth. Pregnancy was the most wonderful experience and then this beautiful baby came from my body. That changes your life.

My therapist is an incurable optimist, the bastard! I thought optimism was stupid and totally irrational.
But over time, I realized that being depressed is such a drain, such a bore...there was no "secret knowledge" to be gained by being a pessimistic stick-in-the-mud.
It took a while, but I've become much more optimistic, and it's been a wonderful lesson, an important step toward dealing with my mental illness.
I have other lessons that were also important, but this is the one that popped in my head (some are a little too personal for even an emotional puker like me to splatter out onto Yahoo Answers.)

No sin, no matter how pleasurable, is worth the repercussions it leads to, because the penalty of sin is far to great in both this life and I can only assume how terrible in the afterlife. You truly do reap what you sow, and even if you plant a little bad seed, it will grow and ruin you.

When I was tired, alone, poor, hungry, and had given up hope in everything, there was no higher power, no supreme deity, and no God present. No God, none.
It was my own willpower and inner strength that forced me back into life and made me realize that anything I gain in life will be due to my own actions and choices, and that God is imaginary.
I no longer ask for that little "extra" strength to persevere, because I know I already have it.

The hardest lesson i learned was to listen and talk to your kids , so that they know they can talk to you when they get into trouble, I found out this by losing my eldest boy at the age of 23 to suicide

an ongoing life lesson, is that everything is synchronized, there are no coincidences
if we just look around us, and dare to notice, the answers are often there, we just need to listen and act upon them

That you cannot change/control any one other than yourself, that is a hard one to retain, but once you get it, it is like being set free.
