Life Lessons That Make Life So Much Better You Can’t Stop Using Them
A tree doesn’t compete with the trees around it, it just grows. Some things must end for better things to begin. You won’t find yourself in others’ opinions. What’s coming is better than what’s gone. The biggest lie you’ve told yourself is that you’re not ready yet. People with the worst pasts can create the best futures. Forgive yourself for accepting less than you deserved, but don’t do it again. Sometimes we break ourselves to leave behind the parts we were never meant to carry. We’re products of our past, but we don’t have to be prisoners of it.
One day, when things are okay, you’ll look back and be proud you didn’t give up. Some paths can only be found by getting lost first. Stop choosing what isn’t choosing you. Sometimes we hold on to pain because it’s the last link to what we’ve lost. The chains that hold you back are never put there by someone else. You may not notice your progress because you’re always raising the bar. You can only lose what you cling to. Work on your boundaries you can’t be everything to everyone and nothing to yourself.
Perhaps you’re overvaluing what you don’t have and undervaluing what you do. Don’t compare yourself to others; the moon and sunshine when it’s their time. Things often work out when you least expect them. Life has a funny way of surprising us when we’re not looking. Overthinking creates problems that aren’t even there. Everything will be okay in the end, and if it’s not okay, it’s not the end. Be patient with your actions and results. When the road gets bumpy, you don’t leave the car you put on the seatbelt.
Your value isn’t determined by someone else’s inability to see your worth. The fish that keeps its mouth shut never gets caught. Believe in yourself before anyone else does. Just because it’s taking time doesn’t mean it’s not working. Everything you thought was drowning you taught to swim. Life is like a piano the white keys represent happiness, and the black keys show sadness, but both create music. If life can take something you never expected to lose, it can replace it with something you never dreamed of having.
You’re not everything you could be yet, and you know it. Solve the problem or leave it, but don’t live with it. We master our future with lessons from our past. You’re not afraid of failure you’re afraid of success and all it demands from you. Just because something is hard to get doesn’t mean it’s valuable. No matter how many goals you’ve reached, set your sights on a higher one. Strength doesn’t come from what you can do it comes from overcoming what you once thought you couldn’t. You’ll never be criticized by someone doing more than you, only by those doing less. Stop chasing the money and start chasing the passion.
The past shows what you’ve done; the future will show what you’ve learned. Like the moon, we go through phases of emptiness to feel full. Stop for a moment and celebrate how far you’ve come. You owe nothing to your younger self, but everything to your present self. You’ll only learn, improve, and figure it out by doing. To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you. Like nature, we all need to go through phases of change to bloom. You wouldn’t have learned to ride a bike if someone you trusted didn’t let you go. You’re not behind; you’re on your path.
Set your goals high, and even if you fail, you’ll be above everyone else’s success. Success comes to those too busy to be looking for it. The pain you feel now can’t compare to the joy coming. Accepting a negative experience is a positive experience. Everything that irritates us about others can lead to understanding ourselves. You won’t know what’s right for you until you experience enough wrong. What you do today is a reflection of who you’ll be tomorrow. For your peace of mind, don’t try to understand everything. You can’t judge what brings others joy, and others can’t judge what brings you joy.
Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed it means the damage no longer controls your life. Confidence is a habit developed by acting as if you already have it. Fulfill your obligations today, and you won’t need to worry about tomorrow. Success comes from delaying gratification and planning for the future. Your competition isn’t other people it’s your procrastination, your negative thoughts, and your comfort zone. You only run out of chances when you stop taking them. Be the person you needed when you were younger. If we all did what we’re capable of, we’d astonish ourselves. True freedom comes when you no longer wish to impress anyone.
