Some Important Life Lessons that....

.
...Take Most People An Entire Lifetime to Learn!


1. Care less about pleasing others, care more about pleasing yourself

Life is too short to waste your time trying to please others. At the end of the day, all you truly have is yourself. Remember this, and you will waste substantially less time seeking happiness outside
If you can, surround yourself with like-minded friends and family members who love you for who you are.

2. Set aside more time for family

At the end of the day, the people in your life — usually your spouse and family are the people you will ultimately want to be around after you have incredible challenges.
Make more time for your family now, and you will not regret broken relationships

3. Actions always speak louder than words

We live in a world where few truly mean what they say anymore. Yet, the old adage “a man/woman is his/her word” remains true.
Create lasting, trust-filled relationships.

4. Work hard — but not too hard

Life is all about balance. You can eat healthy 80 percent of the time and indulge 20 percent.
When your life is nearly over, you will want to look back at all the experiences you had, the memories you made and the people who you loved (and loved you back).

5. Be easier on yourself

We’re all human, striving for perfection in an imperfect world. The greatest lie any of us tells ourselves is that it is possible to be flawless. Take my word — it’s not.
Rather than beat yourself up and struggle with mental disorders for years, take ten minutes every day to remind yourself that you are only human.

6. Adopt an attitude of gratitude

It’s all about the gratitude. Realizing how blessed you really are can inspire a smile on days you might otherwise feel down. When you focus on what’s going right, as well, you attract more of that. Want a good life? Focus on all you’re grateful for.

7. Acknowledge failures as lessons

Try, fail. Try, fail. Try, fail. Try, succeed. There is no formula for succeeding, other than putting in the work. But if you try enough and learn from your mistakes, positive results are inevitable.

8. Say goodbye to excuses and live with no regrets

A less-popular truth many have yet to learn is that there are no “right” or “wrong” decision in life. Every choice has an effect.
Don’t spend your life trying to make the “right” choice or play it safe. Stop trying to please others (remember #1) and just go for that exciting dream you’ve been fantasizing about!

9. Do more good

It’s easy to complain and moan that the world is a horrible place with few good people. If this is your attitude, what exactly are you doing to change it?
