15 Powerful Lessons I’ve Learned From Life
There are so many great lessons we all learn from life. I personally made a list with
some of the most important ones so far, lessons that had a great impact
in my life. These lessons have helped me become the person I am today. I
know there are more to come and I am ready, opened and receptive to
them all.
Enjoy.. 😃
1. We get treated in life the way we teach others to treat us.
People will treat you the way you allow them to treat you. Respect and love yourself and others will do the same.
2. There are no mistakes, only lessons we need to master.
If
you learn from everything that happens to you, you will discover that
there is no such thing as mistakes, only lessons to be learned. And if
you don’t, chances are that your life will look at 40 the same way it did when you were 20. And at 60 the way it looked when you were 40…
3. Forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself.
“Forgiveness
is a gift you give to yourself, to be at peace, to be happy and to be
able to sleep at night. You don’t forgive because you are weak but
because you are strong enough to realize that only by giving up on
resentment you will be happy. If you hold on to poisonous thoughts like
hate, anger, and resentment toward someone, you will end up poisoning
yourself more than you poison the other person, and you will be very
unhappy.”
4. What you resist, persists.
What
you focus on expands and what you resist, not only does it persist, but
it also grows in size. And if you want to shrink something and make it
disappear from your life, you need to stop feeding it by fighting
against it.
5. Life is all about the journey and less about the destination.
A
lot of times we get so focused on our big dreams and goals, that we
forget to enjoy this beautiful journey called life. Always remember that
life is all about this moment. Life is all about the journey and less
about the destination.
So
take a deep cleansing breath and allow yourself to be present in
everything you do. Allow yourself to enjoy each second of your life — to
observe the world around you, the people present in your life and the
beauty that is present within and all around you…
6. People always deserve a second chance.
The
moment you forgive somebody, chances are that you will also give them a
second chance, a chance to be near you, without trying to remind them
of what they did to you, treating them not as they are, or as they once
were, but rather as you want them to be. By doing this, you are also
allowing them to grow and to become better and better every day. Your
ego might tell you to “let these people go”
but what does your heart tell you? We are all humans, we all make
mistakes, and we all deserve a second chance, and why not, maybe a
third, fourth, a sixth and a seventh…
7. If you don’t believe in yourself, nobody will.
Don’t
expect others to see gold where you can only see dust. If you don’t
believe in yourself, if you don’t believe that you are capable, a worthy
human being, chances are that nobody will. You will act on that belief
and people will treat you based on what you think about yourself, based
on how you treat yourself and based on how you act and behave in the
world.
8. Our attitude towards life will determine life’s attitude toward us…
If
you think life is unfair, and that bad thing always happen to you,
chances are that life will treat you unfairly, and you will always have
many reasons to complain about. Because just like there is a law of
gravity, there is also a law of attraction, and based on this law, you
attract in your life, that, which you think about all day long, you
attract that, which you are, because you see, like attracts like.
When life puts you in tough situations, Don’t say Why me ? Just say Try me..
9. If you love yourself, chances are that others will also love you.
It’s
all about self-love, it all starts with self-love. If you don’t have
the love for yourself, how can you expect to get it from somebody else?
Love yourself and others will love you also.
10. The world has plenty of information but not “enough inspirations”.
If
you think about it, now with the technological revolution, we get
access to so much information. Let’s take for example a tiny chip. How
much information can you store on it? Isn’t it incredible? We have more
information than ever… but when it comes to inspiration (in- spirit) I
would say that we have a deficit. We focus too much on the outside and
not enough on the inside. We can’t seem to understand that it all starts
from within. If the inside is a mess, the outside will also be a mess.
Listen to your heart, listen to your intuition and know that:
“The only real valuable thing is intuition.” — Albert Einstein
11. The world won’t change if you don’t change.
You
hear people all the time complaining about how crazy the world is and
how they want it to change, but if you tell them to make the first step…
“What? Me? Do you think there is
something wrong with me? I am perfect, there is nothing I need to
change. These people are crazy and they need to change, not me! They are
the ones who are destroying us all, not me… Those ***** !”
You
see, the outside world is a reflection of who we all are on the inside,
and all this madness that is taking place around us, is a result of our
collective consciousness, and unfortunately it’s a very polluted
consciousness. It’s not just them, it’s us, we all. If we want the world
to change, we have to start with ourselves and trust me, there is
something wrong with many of us. With you, with me, with he and she…
12. Loneliness is different from solitude.
There
is a difference between being lonely and being in solitude. When you
are in solitude, you take advantage of it to get in touch with your inner self,
to meditate and to quiet your mind, and that constant need to be around
others in order for you to no longer feel lonely, will disappear.
Wayne Dyer talks about this in such a wonderful way, saying that “we can never be lonely if we like the person we’re alone with”.
If you like yourself, if you have no problem with your own person, if
you have accepted yourself completely, you will be content with having
some quiet time, away from all the noise. You will feel happy when alone
and also when surrounded by other people.
13. The more we express our gratitude, the more things we will have to be grateful for.
The
law of attraction works in all that is good and also in all that is
bad, and it’s only up to us whether we choose to focus our attention on
the negative or on the positive. Focus your attention on the many great
things you have and you are grateful for, and you will see that the more
you do that, the more reasons you will have to express your gratitude
for.
14. Patience is a virtue.
In order for things to happen, in order for anything to happen, we need to be patient. We first plant the seed of Greatness,Goodness and then we wait for it to grow, we allow it to grow; we take care & nurture it and we protect it. Great things take time and we need to learn how to give time.
15. Courage is not the absence of fear.
Fear, that crazy fear who won’t allow us to move forward,
who won’t allow us to grow and transform our lives and of those around
us will always be present in our lives. Even though many of us know that
fear does not exist and that fear is only in our mind, we choose to be
paralyzed by it and we choose to allow it to control our lives, our
dreams, our goals and the level of our happiness. Fear will be present
whenever you want to stretch, whenever you want to get out of your comfort zone
and whenever you want to do more, be more, have more. What we need to
do is look beyond it, and always be aware of the fact that most of the
things we fear never happen, because FEAR is nothing more than False Expectation Appearing Real.
One Last thing..
