Lessons I've Learned

Life tries to teach us...  sometimes we don't catch on right away, but life keeps trying to make us learn.  If we don't review these life lessons from time to time, we may forget them and then we have to learn them all over again.

This morning on my drive to work, I was reviewing some of my learned lessons and I thought I would share a few of them:

   - Putting things off until “tomorrow” only ensures that you don’t accomplish anything today.

   - When given advice, you shouldn’t follow it blindly, but rather consider it carefully.

   - Accomplishing an impossible goal that someone set for you makes you feel good about yourself.  Accomplishing an impossible goal you set for yourself makes you feel empowered.

   - Sometimes being “right” is no consolation.

   - It is when you have stopped looking for other people’s approval that you realize you kind of like yourself.

   - When someone disappoints you, you can either let them know how they disappointed you, or you can take note and try to make sure you don’t disappoint someone else in the same manner.

   - Bad things are going to happen, learn what you can from them.

   - Good things are going to happen, be careful not to take too much credit for them.
