How old are you? What are some of the life experiences that you have been through and what have YOU learned?Yesterday I started to think about all of the stuff that I have witnessed, learned, and been exposed to during my
twenty five years.
There are many people out there
who are far more sage than I ever will be! However, one thing I really enjoy is to hear about, and learn from, what other people have experienced. I thought I would just jot down some of what I have learned.
Please note, the ideas below are from book ( 1001 Question about your life ) and are not meant to offend in any way, but they are a reflection of what I have observed during the reality of my life thus far.- If you don’t believe in yourself chances are nobody else will either.
- No matter what you do or how nice you are some people are NOT going to like you and that’s okay.
- Acts of kindness can come from people you hardly know.
- At the end of the day there will always be someone who is more intelligent, more creative, and better looking than you are so just do the best you can.
- If you don’t like yourself today start tomorrow by acknowledging that you are a good person.
- Although it can be intimidating it’s okay to pursue your OWN path to happiness.
- Travel will change you in ways you never expected.
- Failure sucks! But, not trying sucks even more.
- In most circumstances being a good listener is much more important than being a good talker.
- Sooner or later you must be willing to take a risk.
- Bad things can happen to good people.
- Shitty jobs can be a great motivator.
- Life is short, quit making excuses and get on with it.
- Some days are just not going to be pleasant and that is where goals and passion can help you to maintain focus.
- There are some incredible, amazing, and truly inspirational people out there.
- Often it will be the people who have the least that will offer you the most.
- If you have a great idea, but feel overwhelmed and intimidated at the possibility of implementing it, don’t be afraid to collaborate with others.
- Frustration is worse than fear.
- Many people will expect you to fail. They don’t necessarily want you to fail, but they do not believe you will succeed, either.
- It’s not fair but, success in most circumstances comes down to who you know and not what you know.
- It does not take that much effort to be to someone.
- Some goals take a long, LONG time to achieve.
- We have the power to believe.
- Public speaking is easy, effectively communicating your message to an audience takes hard work.
- Some of the nastiest human beings I have ever met presented themselves as all knowing religious zealots (I am not saying ALL).
How about you? What have you learned thus far in your life…
