Learn a lesson that

From my experience, I have learned a lesson that it is struggle that leads to success.

The sentence does not sound natural to me. I feel we should either change "a" into "the" or delete "a lesson". What do you think?

No, not only does this sound odd, but it is also illogical. What this said is that, every struggle will end in success. If I extract the meaning from you sentence correctly, I would suggest this: Through [my] experience, I've learned that no success can be achieved without some form of struggles.
