What are the best lessons you have learn, in life?

Question

I learned that thinking too much is absolutely the works thing you can do in your life, over thinking will lead to nothing.

Answer 1

I agree, however, I think that as a result of thinking a lot, I have figured a lot of things out. Here are the most important lessons that I have learned thus far.

1. live your life for you. Trying to please everybody is a waste of time and effort, you will always be damned if ya do, and damed if ya dont.

2. Quality of friends is WAY more important then quantity. You simply cant have both. Those who end up with the most mental issues have a need to have so many friends, they live their life to please, and never have their own idenity.

3. Dont be driven by money, those who are, usually lack really important qualities that are common amongst people with intergrity.

4. Educate yourself. Knowledge is power

5. Growing older doesnt always mean that you become wiser. Some grow older and wiser, and some just grow older and increasignly bitter and look back at their life, instead of forward. Dont fall into this hopeless trap.

6. Follow your dream. One of the most common regrest amongst older people is not having the guts to follow their dream, but many are in a position that they feel they can critizize those who do, as a result of jealousy.

7. Dont have a compelling urge to be in a relationship just for security. Many settle, and end up really happy. You cant be really happy with another person until you have serenity with yourself.


8. Those who anger you in life, conquer you. Dont be a person who is quick to anger, you are just brodcasting how truly weak you are. Anger is a weak persons immitation of strength.

9. Take very little serious, most importanty, yourself. Those who take themselves way to serious, have serious insecurity issues. They are SO pre-occupied by how they are percieved by others, and this translates to being insecure, and not comfortable with yourself.

10. Booze and drugs are USELESS. They result in depleting your brain of happy neurons which enable you to be happy sober,

Well, those are just a few, I have many more, and MANY more to learn. Best wishes.

Answer 2

On great lesson...you can't change a person..their feelings, morals, values etc. , even if we dont agree or feel they are wrong. When we think we know someone we expect them to react or behave a certain way, personally it was difficult for me to accept, but in the end its how it is. So now I focus more on myself and try to understand my own morals and whats true to me so that I can be true to myself and in the end is one of the best lessons I could have ever learned..this coming from an important personal experience I never went thru before until 6 months ago.

Answer 3

Yea, thinking to much about everything is such a waste of time, things will happen the way they do no matter how much thinking you do.It just gets you all stressed out! A lesson I learned about a year ago is, not to forget to tell the people you care about how you feel about them & to spend as much time as you can with those people, make them smile & laugh & be happy. Don't put things off because you never know how much time you may have left with someone! It isn't hard to say "I love you!", but it's very hard to know you had the chance to say it , but didn't!

Answer 4

1. As the old saying goes.."You don't know what you've got till it's gone" holds very, very, true. I took some loved ones for granted. I didn't treat them bad or ignore them, I just didn't appreciate them as much as I could have. Two of my family members were suddenly taken in an auto accident and life has not been the same since then. I miss them more than I can express. Every phase of life has changed. I didn't know what, how good, I had things till they were gone. Appreciate your loved ones.. Treat them with love, understanding, and respect. Savor every moment. You never know what tomorrow might bring. You don't know what you've got...till it's gone! 2. Nothing in life is free. If they say it's free, there is probably a catch of some sort.

Answer 5

I've learned that lesson, it's a good one. I'm an over thinker, a pessimist too, so i have to dive in and do things before i think of the bad things that could happen lol.
Being a pessimist i've also learned that you can't rely on others no matter how much you love them. it sucks but it's true. YOu have to take responsibility for your own actions and problems.

Answer 6

These are a few rules I follow for myself:

Treat yourself with love and respect
Treat others the way you would like to be treated.
Ask yourself daily if you are being true to yourself
When you wake up plan to have a good day
When you go to sleep see if you need to appologize for anything that you did that day.
Spend time with the ones you love, they may not be there tomorrow.
Do all the things you want to do but keep putting off.
Hold a baby and snuggle with a cat. They remind you of unconditional love.

I want to be able to die knowing that I am content with how I lived my life.

Answer 7

They say experience is the best teacher! I learned a lot from my experiences and it makes me tougher in facing life! One of the best thing I learned is that: Life in this world is temporary. We are just mere strangers here and anytime, any place, anywhere if Our creator will call us we have to go with Him. So we have to start investing for our life in the hereafter by doing good deeds and believing in only one true God , Allah!

Answer 8

Learn to not let your emotions get ahold of you, and don't overreact anything. To think carefully, but not think too hard on things. To see into people, not through people. To acknowledge your faults, and not to be vain of your strengths. To learn all you can, and share your learning with others. To realize the problems with the world, and try to fix them, or at least not complain about them. To try to be all you can be, hope hope that for all those around you.

Answer 9

The pearl worth having, is understanding what goes down on the outside is not worth having anyway. Just make your goal being happy. Let go of the thing patterns, “I will be happy when another person changes, my job improves, relationships, projects, check out of this relationship, into that relationship etc. We think there is something out there that is going to make us happy when we need to understand that the only goal you need to have is to make yourself happy and think you are enough. If you do not think you are enough, how is someone else going to see you that way? Abundance is something that flows from inside.
