I’m 63 and I Still Regret Not Learning These Lessons in My 30s

I remember sitting alone thinking I'd hit rock bottom but during that tough time I met people who shared lessons with me that helped me get through it these lessons might be just what you need right now people aren't for you or against you they're for themselves what is coming is better than what is gone sometimes you just have to walk away let people go and let relationships end your true friends become apparent when you're at your lowest the only way out is [Music] through you are stronger than you think you have gotten through every bad day in your life and you are undefeated nobody is going to watch out for you like you once you face your fear nothing is ever as hard as you think out of difficulties grow miracles believe you can and you're halfway there not everyone whom you meets intentions are true the days that you don't want to do anything are the days that you need to do the most the only thing you can control is is how you feel do and think stop trying to change other people because it almost never works hardships often prepare Ordinary People for an extraordinary Destiny the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams some sometimes we can only find our true Direction when we let the Wind of Change carry us never sacrifice your growth for anyone pain is inevitable suffering is optional you're braver than you believe stronger than you seem and and smarter than you think trust yourself you've survived a lot and you'll survive whatever is coming you never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice change is not a threat it's an invitation to live we either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong the amount of work is the same keep your expectations only to yourself life is not always Fair people that lie and cheat can often come out on top but no matter how bad a situation may seem you just have to keep battling on hoping and wishing don't make things change making different decisions and working hard does honesty is a very expensive gift don't expect it from cheap people people when patience pans out you realize you've not waited for long got to love yourself before you can love others when something happens and it causes us pain the pain is there to teach us a lesson it is not so that we feel pain for the sake of [Music] pain good judgment comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment do not let the memories of your past limit the potential of your future there are no limits to what you can achieve on your journey through life except in your mind we must meet the challenge rather than wish it were not before us Letting Go isn't a one-time thing it's something you have to do every day over and over again difficult roads always lead to beautiful destinations there Comes A Time in your life when you have to choose to turn the page write another book or simply close it when you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently most people will deceive you if you give them at least half a chance you don't drown by Falling In The Water you drown by staying there life is inherently risky there is only one b big risk you should avoid at all costs and that is the risk of doing nothing every next level of your life will demand a different you take the first step in faith you don't have to see the whole staircase just take the first step don't let anyone ever make you feel like you don't deserve what you want the chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions the most important thing in life is learning how to fall bad days build better days let the Improvement of yourself keep you so busy that you have no time to criticize others people tend to complicate their own lives as if living weren't already complicated enough a tough lesson in life that one has to learn is that not everybody wishes you well there is neither happiness nor unhappiness in this world there is merely the comparison of one state to the other only a man who has felt ultimate despair is capable of feeling ultimate Bliss hard times are sometimes blessings in Disguise we do have to suffer but in the end end it makes us strong better and wise rehearsing situations in your head is a waste of time the situation will always be different than anything your imagination will come up with people will walk in and out of your life and those you least expect will become p past remembrances of a temporary time you once thought was permanent one of my biggest lessons in life is we heal at the speed of our forgiveness a little foolishness enough to enjoy life and a little wisdom to avoid the errors that will do hard times don't create Heroes it is during the hard times when the hero within us is revealed happiness is not the absence of problems it's the ability to deal with them the great courageous act that we must all do is to have the courage to step out of our history and past so that we can live our dreams nothing in your life will change unless you change you think you know someone but mostly you just know what you want to know it took a long time but I have learned that you just can't take anything you want out of life without putting something back in exchange instead of worrying about what you cannot control shift your energy to what you can create maturity is when you stop complaining and making excuses and start making [Music] changes you can't understand everything immediately sometimes you need to wait some good buys set you free the only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be if you have a strong purpose in life you don't have to be pushed your passion will drive you there life changes for the better when we realize that we don't have to know everything and we don't have to pretend that we do be the reason someone Smiles be the reason someone feels loved and believes in the goodness in people it's never too late to reinvent yourself actions rooted in persistence sometimes bear bitter fruit sometimes you have to let parts of yourself go or you'll never be happy obstacles don't have to stop you if you run into a wall don't turn around and give up figure out how to climb it go through it or work around it you can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes you get what you need the first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are the hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn all you have to do is pay attention lessons always arrive when you are ready facing your emotions gives you more strength and happiness in the long run than shutting them down or ignoring them if you believe very strongly in something stand up and fight for it guard well your thoughts when alone and your words when accompanied the trouble is if you don't spend your life yourself other people spend it for you be grateful for what you already have while you pursue your goals if there's a single lesson that life teaches us it's that wishing doesn't make it so sometimes you're not going to fit in no matter how hard you try and it's better to just be [Music] alone every Journey has its final day don't rush when one door closes another opens but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us always trust what your gut tells you even when everybody else tries to convince you otherwise don't take people for granted you never know when they could be gone you never know how much they mean to you until they're gone never back down from a real challenge they give the best lessons in life you are the only person that can simultaneously be your best friend and your worst enemy and you can choose which one is more prevalent you cannot control the behavior of others but you can always choose how you respond to it don't cry because it's over smile because it happened sometimes you have to lose all you have to find out who you truly are people only get better with experience if they are willing to learn and understand the lessons that are given to them through the bad times in their lives tough time times teach us that our resilience is stronger than we ever imagined you have to speak up for yourself no one else will you won't always be able to help someone change for the better if you keep trying there will come a day when you decide you can't do it anymore and they clearly don't want to change your life is the result of the choices you make there is no plan just the consequences of choices be cautious with good deeds kindness has limits and some may exploit your generosity you can either become the victim of your struggles or emerge from them as the hero of your life the most precious thing in the world is time with those you love we tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have your future is your past which you understand you have to help yourself no one else can help you you have to do it yourself once you realize this you will feel more in control of your life
