Life Lessons You Should Learn By Now. There’s always lessons to be learnt. From the very first day you’re born, you begin to learn life lessons. Even though by now, maybe am not 100 years old but, think for a second, think about what you’ve learned from your parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents.
These lessons include how to survive childhood, how to become and stay healthy, how to love yourself, and how to be happy. So, now that you’re a little older, where’s the fun in all this? Well, if you find that you don’t have any life lessons to learn from your younger self, then it’s time to read those lessons and digest them. If you find that you have been living in a world of constant worry, unhappiness, and feeling lost along the way, it’s time to get back to basics. If you are a baby boomer, then your baby boomer life lessons can help you with understanding today’s challenges and the future feeling of hope.
The most important one of all is to take life lessons from your Fears. Fear is the number one killer of happiness. It can turn us into someone who doesn’t want to move forward, someone who doesn’t like to take action, someone who doesn’t take care of themselves. In addition, it’s impossible to achieve anything worth having unless you are willing to do the work. Fear is a major obstacle for progress and without it there is no room for growth.
The most important one of all to look at for our life lessons is this: when things happen to you that make you feel bad, remember that you are a whole person with a great story to tell. Yes, that feeling of being bad and feeling sad at the same time is natural. It happens to everyone. You feel sad about something, because as a person you have a problem, but you have a solution, or you have a way to fix the problem, or you have an event that is coming up in your life that can change the way it is. Remember that everyone has moments where they feel bad, but also moments when they feel excited about things, opportunities, and situations.
When you feel bad, remember that life is about change. You have to learn how to take advantage of these changes and take advantage of the good things that happen to you on a daily basis. When you allow yourself to look at your life as something that is worth living instead of seeing it as a series of sad days, you will be able to live a full and happy life and you will find that as you go through each day you are taking small steps to change the way you feel on a daily basis and creating new habits.
Take the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth day as an opportunity to take care of little things that need to get done that don’t seem like they should really matter. For example, you may notice that as you walk through the grocery store that you are getting carried away with everything. Instead of saying to yourself “I am getting carried away with this shopping experience”, tell yourself “I am taking the time to look at all the little things that I am going to have to do later that will make a difference in my life”. This will take some self-control and commitment, but if you stay true to yourself and continue looking at the larger picture, you will find that the shopping experience is actually more fun than you thought it would be.
Life can be a series of unfortunate events that lead up to the wonderful life that you have today. However, if you want to feel bad for the rest of your life, you will simply not do anything about the circumstances you find yourself in. When you want to feel bad, look in your mirror and say “what am I doing wrong”? If it’s not what you think you’re doing wrong, then it’s about the choices you make in life and how willing you are to make changes and take opportunities offered to you.
You can learn a wide variety of life lessons from life experiences. You can also learn by observing others and applying them to your life. By changing your attitude, limiting your negative thinking, accepting what you can’t change about yourself, and looking at all the opportunities that you can learn from, you can live a happier and more successful life. If you want to feel bad, then that’s your choice. Just learn from your mistakes and move forward with a positive attitude and you will learn to feel good about yourself and find the best life that you were ever meant to live.
“I’ve never fooled anyone. I’ve let people fool themselves. They didn’t bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn’t argue with them. They were obviously loving somebody I wasn’t.”
― Marilyn Monroe

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”

“We have to allow ourselves to be loved by the people who really love us, the people who really matter. Too much of the time, we are blinded by our own pursuits of people to love us, people that don’t even matter, while all that time we waste and the people who do love us have to stand on the sidewalk and watch us beg in the streets! It’s time to put an end to this. It’s time for us to let ourselves be loved.”

And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open. Do it. Throw yourself.”
