8 LESSONS people learn TOO LATE in life
In this blog we will talk about the 8 LESSONS people learn TOO LATE in life
1. The ebb and flow of important relationships.
It’s okay for significant individuals to come and go in your life. Sometimes, close acquaintances can become strangers abruptly, but equally, strangers can become the most crucial individuals in your life instantly. The process may be painful, but if you embrace it, it will improve the quality of the people in your life.
2. Your holistic diet.
As you age, you understand that your diet is more than just food. It includes what you consume through media, books, social media, and the people you associate with. To maintain a healthier mind, it’s vital to eliminate negative influences from your holistic diet.
3. Prioritizing your well-being.
Your mental health takes precedence over your career, wealth, other people’s opinions, social commitments, your partner’s mood, and your family’s expectations. If taking care of yourself means disappointing someone, do it anyway. Your self-love must be stronger than the need for external validation.
4. Avoid self-rejection.
A person who has faced rejection often fears it, which leads to self-sabotage or avoidance. They might think they’ve avoided rejection, but in reality, they’ve rejected themselves.
5. Taking charge of your future.
You have no control over your past traumas, but you have the power to break the cycle and avoid causing harm to others. To shape your future, you can’t let your present be dominated by your past. Yesterday’s events may not be your fault, but your actions today are in your control.
6. Quality trumps quantity.
Life is about the quality of experiences and relationships, not the quantity. One quality friendship is worth more than a hundred casual acquaintances. One meaningful relationship is worth more than a hundred flings. One memorable experience is worth more than a hundred wild nights.
7. Ditch unrealistic expectations.
Chasing societal expectations can drain your happiness. Don’t be burdened by the false notions of how your life should unfold. There is no set age for attending university, starting a career, buying a home, getting married, or having kids. Your path to happiness is unique.
8. Your definition of fun.
To enjoy life, don’t conform to other people’s definitions of fun. The fun doesn’t have to mean partying, drinking, or socializing. It can mean a quiet night in, a good book, meaningful conversations, walks, creative pursuits, playing music, or doing work you love. Fun belongs to you, so make sure you define it.
