Hard truth: the 100 lessons you learn as you age 🆙

100 lessons you learn as you age. The complete list of all those hard lessons that life gives us over the years.

#Lessons we learn as we age

Although maturity does not depend on age, it certainly depends on experience, and experience accumulates over time.

And over time, along with experience, come gray hair, wrinkles, and a not-so-sharp mind. On the plus side, you get even wiser over the years (maybe).

Life tests you and teaches you lessons that make you appreciate what you have:

You wouldn't appreciate love if you weren't rejected multiple times.

You wouldn't value money if you never lost it.

You wouldn't respect the pain of others if you didn't suffer it yourself.

You may be able to learn all these lessons when you are still a teenager, but most of us will have to get older before we learn those teachings that make us wiser and more aware at the same time.

As you get older and reflect on what life has taught you, you will almost certainly revisit many of the following concepts.

Note: the list is intentionally incomplete. The lessons you have learned and that we will collect over the years are missing, both in the comments of this article and on our social networks (Facebook and Instagram).
