Learning is a Good Thing

Some of the best lessons I’ve learned were from the ground looking up.  Something had knocked me on my butt, and it was up to me to determine 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, assess the situation, and learn from it.   Here are a few of my favorite lessons.

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

2.    When you ask a friend for help, they say ok. When you ask an acquaintance for help, they say what do you need?  There is a huge difference.

3.    Listening is an acquired skill, and I learn more from listening than talking.

4.    Seldom has shooting my mouth off before thinking resulted in a positive outcome.

5.    Things happen in my life that I cannot fix.  Learning to accept them leads to better things.

6.    Kindness is a mindset that changes the world.

7.    Inspiration is all around me, if I pay attention.

8.    Money does not make the world go round. 

9.    I am responsible for my actions. 

10Bad things happen.  That’s just part of life; however, the reaction is all mine.

11  Intuition is one of the best tools in the tool kit of life.  If something feels right, it typically is right.  If something feels wrongs, it is most likely wrong.
