Lesson's Learned

Some of the best lessons I’ve learned were when I was on the ground looking up.  Something had knocked me on my butt, and it was up to me as to what to do with the event.  I could stay on the ground and flounder in the emotion that put me there, or I could stand up, brush myself off, assess the situation, and learn a lesson.  

Here are 10 of the better lessons I’ve learned.

1.     Listening is an acquired skill. 

2.     I learn more from listening than I do talking.

3.     Seldom if ever has shooting my mouth off before thinking resulted in a positive outcome.

4.     There are things that happen in my life that I just cannot fix.  Learning to accept them leads to better things in the future.

5.     Intuition is one of the best tools I have in my tool kit of life.  If something feels right, it typically is right.  If something feel wrongs, it most likely is wrong.

6.     Sometimes bad things just happen; however, the reaction and response is all mine.

7.     Changing my thinking has definitely changed my life.

8.     Money does not make the world go round. 

9.     You can’t save everyone.  Some do not want to be saved.

10.  I have complete responsibility for my actions.
