What have you learned so far about life?

money talks.

-You cant win an arguement.

-There is no such thing as wrong or right. It all perspective, really.

-You are your own worst enemy.

-How you feel about anything is ultimatley a choice.

• Separate and together as concepts are not necessarily mutually exclusive when it comes to relationships

• Our outer lives often reflect our inner lives, in a sense

One thing I've always constantly learned in life is the importance of failure and problems in developing us as a better person.

It's a sexualy transmitted disease

LOL!

No one is perfect.
No one person can know everything. Smart people are human beings too.

Do the best you can with what you have.
Grow where you are planted even though it may seem impossible to do so. Where there is a will, there is a way.

What you resist against most, grows. The act of surrender empowers you in ways you never knew possible. Let things go, give them over to a higher power. (If you choose to believe in one)

Not everyone is going to appreciate or like you.
Never settle for less than you deserve.

Opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one, it is up to you whether or not to subscribe to them.

Non resistance.
Non judgment.
Non attachment.

Less said the better, unless you are asked. Even then, use common sense.

Forgive yourself first.

Love yourself outright, flaws and all. For in doing so, it enables you to love others with respect and kindness.

When people accuse you or think of you as being "obsessive", there is always another who will come along and show them exactly what that word REALLY means. Use caution in how you use it regards to your fellow human beings.

I may not be as quick or as intelligent as the next fellow, but I am certainly good enough and I am here for a reason.

Being present in everything that I do, changes everything. It takes the edge off of the dread and allows joy work and flow into my life. Even in the simple things.

Life is precious.
The act of breathing is scared. Don't waste it spreading hate and anger.

I am my own full time production, I refuse to waste time on crap that doesn't amount to a hill of beans.

Yes it is sexually transmitted. Not sure if it is a disease or not, as It's Everywhere....

And it is not up to me how long I live. Suicides are Permitted Only.

"Fairness" is the province of 11-year-old girls on the playground; any other expectation of "fairness" is absurd and self-defeating

You've got to explain that a little more.

 

[Bbucko]

You've got to explain that a little more.

Life is inherently unfair.

People who rail on about "fairness" are similar, I think, to those who think God punishes them when bad (unfair) things happen to them.

Shit happens. There's no vast plan, only a series of events (not all of which is intentional) that result in consequences everyone's gotta deal with: it's not fair, but then again, nothing is fair.

It's a kick ass one way ride that'll be over before you can say "Fuck meee!"

Take in the sights, and "smoke 'em if ya got 'em."

It's important to thank people...and say it like you mean it.

(Thank you guys/gals for all these posts...they are wonderful!)

What have you learned so far about life?

1. Life is unfair.

2. In the beginning, God couldn't tell Adam and Eve that they were naked in the forest...because He hoarded all the knowledge. But He punishes them for finding out that they were naked.

3. God holds a grudge.

4. You should never complain about shit you never had or the stuff that you do have. When you die...you don't get to take any of it with you.

5. Love does change over time.

6. No one but you is responsible for your evolution.

7. You don't have to be around people you don't like. That means friends and your family.

8. Forgiveness doesn't mean forgotness.

9. Everyday people can't handle everyday people.

Address your life challenges early on. Denial of your problems only delays the inevitable need to deal with them.

 

[jjsjr]

You only get one chance at life, so make it the life you want to live.

 

[Enid]

We are responsible for our own emotions, no one makes us do anything.

 

[D_Wally Walnuts]

Protect your credit like you protect your balls.

 

[earllogjam]

Nothing stays the same so if you are in a bad place it too will change.

You think clearer when you are happy.

Be kind to yourself.

Take care of your body - good physical health translates to good mental health.

Floss

You need friends. Cultivate life long friendships.

These "What I've Learned from Life" lists are meaningless unless you've personally experienced them for yourself. It's the difference between actually riding a bike and reading instructions on how to ride a bike - real world experience and intellectualization.

 

[D_Wally Walnuts]

Use rubbers.

 

[curiousvirgin]

Everything is transient, and will fade...but for truth and love
My happiness is totally up to ME.
Don't have any expectation from anyone and nothing will be able to fail you.
Be as nice as you want to everyone but only for your own satisfaction
There's nothing in the shadow's but your own wrongdoings

Women get married thinking he'll change.
Men get married thinking she won't change.
And usually they're both wrong.
