Don't sit and wait. Life passes on by when you do.
To walk the talk and agree totally what elizabethblack say...Listen!!!
Strive toward your own definition of success, the challenges that come during that journey are merely opportunities to prove yourself.
1. Always believe in yourself.
2. Treat all people with respect.
3. Never look down on people.
4. Always smile, as it will bring smiles from others.
5. Stay close to your family.
Like yourself for who you are. Do what you want to do. Be what you want to be. Be happy with no regrets.
Be careful whom you tell what to.
A few people really care; the rest are just curious.
The most important life lesson I have learned is often repeated and always a reminder to me. Tomorrow is not a guarantee. In the fire service we have seen people with minor injuries pass and people with severe injuries that have actually died while we were extracting them or shortly after be revived and return back to normal life after Dr's work their magic. Never take tomorrow for granted,life changes a split second at a time. All the other advice I have read is great and I truly believe that we should live by it to make the best of today.
I've always put a lot of pressure on myself and I've realized over the years that .......
That I'm incapable of handling it all
There's no such thing as perfect so I should not try to make things perfect
You are not me and I should not expect you to do things the same way
That I should be a little selfish sometimes
I need to stop thinking that I can make everyone happy
Instincts are never wrong, if your gut tells you something's off, something IS OFF
Just because you own your mistakes don't expect everyone to do the same
Never say goodbye without saying I love you
No matter how people have treated me or what losses I have suffered through it all I've learned to be true to myself.
I don't have to become jaded and cynical because I've dealt with jaded cynical people. I own my shit.
Don't procrastinate about trips and visits to friends and family, or for that matter, fix-it lists!
I spent months on my back rehabilitating after an accident, wondering if I'd ever be able to do any of those things again. I had one of those "would have, should have, could have" experiences. Life is too short. Just when you think you can do any of those things, any time you want (so you don't enough), life can and might throw you a curve ball in this department as well. I worked my ass off to recover! No more excuses... just do it! Live life in the now... today!
I have learned to always tell the people i love that i love before I leave them because you may never see them again! I have also learned life is too short to hate!
Believe in yourself and all things are possible
I always take people as I find them, being non judgemental and accepting people for who they are. Too many people are quick to judge others on appearance. So I suppose the life lesson I have learned is not to judge a book by its cover, beauty is definitely only skin deep.
Get to know people before you make rash decisions, I should have listened to my mom on the first and second marriage, but on the second marriage I just knew he was the right guy for me, boy was that a mistake, still married to the guy, but very unhappy....
No one can take away your integrity. You can only give it away.
The truth hurts. Sometimes it hurts you the most. Telling the truth can bite you in the ass, but at least you can look yourself in the mirror and say, "At least I didn't lie." Just know, not everyone will agree with your truth and call you names for it. They will use your truth and twist it to use against you. They will use your truth to hurt you. And when you make a mistake, they will use that error to try to prove your truth is really a lie... even when you apologize for the mistake you made. Not all mistakes are made out of malice... often they are made out of ignorance. But if there is one who wishes to use this one mistake as evidence of your crime, you can only stand by your truth, even if it means you'll be punished for this. Knowing you spoke the truth even when those doubt you is all you can do.
To live in the moment with joy and gratitude
Not to be unnerved by other people's moods or insecurities
Not to be soo trusting of others as most are only out fro what they can get.
To stop shying away from people and to show my true colours at all times, as those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
I agree with Curvy ... to live in the moment!
I would have to say the most important life lesson I've learned, is that there's far more to life than going to the pub every weekend. I barely go any more, but at one point I was religious about it.
I kept seeing the same faces, having the same conversations, drinking the same drinks and going straight back to work on Monday with a hangover and a large chunk of money missing from my bank account.
I've found a lot better things to fill my time up with now and I actually feel happier for having a break from alcohol. I had no idea that I would become more productive by not going out.
Might seem like a simple thing to most people, but I certainly don't miss listening to people fight in the street any more either lol.
People that don't care, play games with people that do care. Life is just a game however and we all need to learn how to play it.
Treat people the way you would like to be treated!
You don't know what love is until you have truly looked into someones darkness and still loved them if not more so.
Love takes patience or it wont ever work out
It can't rain all the time even after the rain the sun bound to come out sooner or later so get focused on that instead of all the bad..
Some people bring out the best in you and some people bring out the worst in you..but its you who is really in charge.
Getting a brand new dream house doesn't fix your crumbling marriage...because its not about the house its about all the changes that happened along the way.
