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

2. Money does not make the world go round.

3. Seldom, 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, and 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 normally is right. If something feels wrong, it is wrong.

6. Bad things just happen; however, the reaction is all mine.

7. Changing my thinking has definitely changed my life.

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

9. I have complete responsibility for my actions.

10. Kindness and doing good things are choices. Make a difference in someone's life by being kind.
