There are so many life lessons you learn from childhood to adulthood. These lessons are what make you who you are and define your existence in a particular environment with different people of different characters. Life will always teach you its lessons until the day of your demise. Here are some of the powerful life lessons you may or may not have known from childhood;
If you don't believe in yourself then nobody will
If you don't believe in yourself then don't expect somebody else to believe in you. As it is said, don't expect people to see gold where you only see dust. People will always treat you based on what you think about yourself and how you behave yourself.
If you love yourself then others will love you too and vise versa
Everything starts with you, your take on yourself defines how people around you will take on you. This does not mean you let loose of your ego. If you don't have the love for yourself then don't expect others to feel love for you. Love yourself and others will love you also.
We get treated the way we treat others
Do not treat people around you with a bad attitude and expect them to treat you with a good attitude. We get back only what we offer and how we offer it. Respect yourself and others will respect you too.
Your mistakes are your lessons
If you learn from every single thing that happens to you or every bad thing that happens to you as a result of what you did earlier, you will realise that there are no such things as mistakes but lessons. So you have to master them to change your life.
Life is all about the journey and not the destination
You realize that life is like a journey with a destination but the destination does not count as much as the journey itself counts. Life is always about this moment, don't focus too much on your goals and fail to live up this moment.
Forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself
We learn that when we forgive, we get to be happy and feel free to sleep peacefully at night. We don't forgive because we are weak but because we are strong and need to let go the feeling of resentment. Holding grudges affect you more then it affects the other person.
Your attitude towards life determines life's attitude towards you
When you always think that life is always unfair then life won't hesitate to be unfair to you and you will always complain about this. Life gives you back what you want for yourself.
The world is not bad, the people are
Nothing around you happens without another person being the course. Don't blame the world for being bad because the world is controlled by human beings. If you want the world to change then you better start with yourself.
