I know you would not disagree with me that no matter how loooong we live, we'll never stop learning. Yeah? As long as were open to receive, God will send us opportunities, challenges, He will never stop teaching us every day.
While I hold on to the fact that life will never be perfect, the God I know, the God of Order and Peace, the God of Everything, my God and your God, who is Awesome, promises to be just there on our side, take note that His promises are always fulfilled.
“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
~Hebrews 13:5
"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope — the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.~Titus 2:11-15
One of the most important facets I've learned about love is unselfishness, which is characterized in the Bible as a willingness to sacrifice one's own wishes for those of others. I've learned that true love will always adapt and adjust to the needs and desires of other people.
It's impossible for people who've truly been reduced to love to be selfish. God has taught them how to be totally adaptable and adjustable to others. Selfish people, on the other hand, have hard hearts. It's very difficult for them to learn anything—especially if it involves self-sacrifice. They expect everyone else to adjust to them and their needs. They simply don't know how to adjust to others without becoming angry or upset.
Learning to adapt and adjust to the needs and desires of others was very difficult for me. To be honest, I wanted my way, and I got upset when I didn't get it. I was selfish! I wanted what I wanted, when I wanted it! I couldn't stand having to wait on someone else or bending my own wishes to accommodate someone else's timetable.
But God began to soften my heart, and gradually I learned to see the needs of others. Then God gave me compassion—the heartfelt desire to meet the needs of others first before my own.
A heart that is open to appreciate every blessing should always be bigger than the eyes that see what is missing. Let our blessings be the reason to celebrate life and may that thing which is missing serve as the inspiration to work for a life that never stops to get better.

Give yourself a chance to know God, absorb what He's telling you by medidating on His words (bible) and learn how to love, His way. =)
