Making A List Of Life Lessons

By Rena Haynes


Each one has his own experiences. It may be that of success or failures. Each has his own way of seeing things but one thing is sure. There is always something to be learned. A list of life lessons will be handy as it will help in making analysis. Wiser decisions may then be made next time the same things happen.

Learn to live in the moment. Goals may be set but leave that to the future. No person has ever made it to the zenith of success. Those who have seemingly reached goals only finds out that its lonely in the end. Reminiscing makes success sweeter. It is the travel that counts most and not the destination. However, there is always something in human nature which prods him to go looking for more conquests. The cycle continues.

Failures does not mean the end. Chances are unlimited. There is always the chance to get up. Those getting up moments are what makes a man strong. There is always a way in everything. If you could not get up, then crawl. Do whatever means you have to reach the goal. Life is not a race, just finish it.

Never let expectations of other people shape your idea of fulfillment. There is no way that one could please everyone. Those people who truly love you would not set expectations. If you truly love someone, you will not expect something from him. Rather, you would be there for him should he fall.

Bad events may wound. However, these wounds would never heal if you keep picking it. One should learn to let go and step forward. These events have their own purposes. You would not be able to appreciate it until it arrives. If it has been a long time and it has still not arrived, know that there many things the future still holds. Breaking down makes you stronger than before. That in itself is a purpose. Everything has a purpose.

Most people ask what is the purpose of existence. That could not be found unless one will be able to see living from the perspective of whole humanity. In that case, altruism is something that can be considered. Those people who say that it does not really answer the question should give a try on making others happy. It is most likely that a certain happiness will be felt. That is the real happiness that gives life its meaning.

Give importance to the people you care for. Do not disregard them. The value of most things in life are mostly not appreciated until they are gone. Most likely, everyone knows that. If things are to be considered important people should be considered as more important. Time is of essence, show them you love them before they are gone.

Appreciate the good things in life. Music is one of them. Take the time to listen to other genres. Take metal, for example. Though some of its lyrics may be somewhat negative, one can still find that it can be a valuable form of catharsis. There are many metalheads out there who may seem evil with their looks and music but are having a life that is free from vices and are very thoughtful. Use it as a catharsis, a positive way of pouring out your negativities.

Making a list of life lessons is helpful in making one appreciate life itself. Lessons are there to make you appreciate things. When you take a look at this, you will surely see that experiences bring morals no matter how bad they seemed to be.
