Life is a wise teacher that we are sometimes unable to understand. One way or another, however, certain life lessons reach everyone, regardless of their subsequent application or not.
Many of these life lessons accompany us for a long time, yet sometimes we choose to ignore them although applying them would allow us to enjoy greater well-being. Let's see in the following lines some of the most important life lessons.
17 valuable life lessons
1. Live without fear
It is truly beautiful to fight with persuasion, to embrace life and to live with passion.
-Charlie Chaplin-
2. Don't complain
Before you complain, look around and thank you for what you have.
3. Have the courage to take risks
Every day I am convinced that the waste of our life lies in the love we have not given, in the powers we have not used, in the selfish prudence that avoids any risk and that, by avoiding pain, likewise renounces happiness.
-Mary Chomodeley-
4. Don't miss out on opportunities
There are two things that never come back: a shot arrow and a missed opportunity.
(Jim Rohn)
5. Be honest instead of lying
Sincerity will always make us hate a little
-Mario Benedetti-
6. Life lessons: love is accepting the other
True love doesn't come down to physical appearance or romance; true love is accepting the other as they are, have been, will be and will no longer be.
7. Each person has their own view of the world
The way we see the world is our own version of it. No one else shares the same version of reality.
8. Life lessons: time is not lacking, but interest
What is lacking is not time, but interest, because when people really want it, dawn becomes day, Tuesday becomes Saturday and a moment becomes an opportunity.
9. Find the meaning of life
The meaning of life is not to get everything you want, rather to be able to share everything you have and know.
10. Life is short
Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, truly love, laugh out loud and never regret something that made you happy.
11. Life Lessons: Overcoming Fears
“I have learned that courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not the one who does not feel fear, but the one who overcomes that fear "
-Nelson Mandela-
12. Appreciate what you have
Sometimes we don't value the people closest to us. Those family members we can always count on or those friends who are always available to help us. We only appreciate what we have if we lose it.
13. Life Lessons: Nurturing Friendships
A friendship does not grow because you are always together, but because of the magic of knowing that, even if far away, that friend is carried in your heart.
14. Appreciate those who are sincere
True friendship is not based on who came first or who has known us the longest. It's about who came and never left.
15. Take care of the bonds
If you don't care for someone in your present, don't expect to see them in the future, because by then you will already be their past.
16. Lessons of life: the family is not always of blood
The family is made up of people who want us in their life, who accept us; who would do anything to see us smile and love us above all else.
Many people do not find in their blood family the support that others offer them and this is because blood is not the most important element in terms of affection.
17. Resist
I like the verb "resist". Resist what imprisons, prejudices, hasty judgments, the desire to judge, everything that is bad in us and that only wants to express itself, the desire to abandon, the need to complain, the need to talk about oneself at the expense of the other, to fashions, unhealthy ambitions, environmental confusion. Hold on, and ... smile
-Emma Dancourt-
Conclusions
The time has come to apply these life lessons to enjoy all that is within your reach, knowing how to evaluate what you have and being rewarded with great well-being.
Free yourself from prejudices and beliefs and start smiling. Life must be lived with all the senses. These life lessons can add color even in the most difficult times.
