Title: 5 Life Lessons Many
People Learn Too Late
Biographies and
auto-biographies are published not so much as to showcase the successes of many
successful people but that men should read and copy the same exact systems and
processes they employed in becoming successful.
But men do not find fun in
reading except to scale through one examination, proficiency test or the other
and when it comes to assimilating and emulating, many men are lacking in that
department.
Too many of us wait too long
to live our best lives.
We keep putting everything
off until tomorrow.
We are waiting for when we
have attained one position or the other before we can start living; we postpone
our happiness until we have acquired one property or the other; we are unable
to actually laugh because it will show that we are happy when we are not; we
manufacture reasons and excuses to postpone living as if we are really in
control of when we shall depart this earth; we behave as if we do not know that
our time on earth is limited no matter how long we live.
Then, before we know it, we
find ourselves asking, “How did it get so late so soon?”
Don’t let this be YOU.
Make today the beginning of
your second chance at life.
Take time to figure yourself
out.
Take time to realize what you
want and need.
Take time to take risks, (a
risk free life is an utopia).
Take time to love, laugh,
cry, learn, and forgive.
Life is shorter than it often
seems.
Here are five important
things you need to know, before it’s too late:
1. This
Moment Is Your Life.
– Your life is not between
the moments of your birth and death.
Your life is between now and
your next breath.
The present – the here and
now – is all the life you ever get.
If only we can realize that
we do not possess tomorrow; if only we can understand that being present in the
present is all that matters; if only we can see that we all struggle with the
same issues about life, then we can begin to live our lives without hesitation,
without postponing for tomorrow that which can be done in the now.
So live each moment in full,
in kindness and peace, without fear and regret.
And do the best you can with
what you have in this moment; because that is all you can ever expect of
anyone, including yourself.
2. A
Lifetime Isn’t Very Long.
– How long is a life
time?
the Holy Book says SEVENTY
YEARS and by dint of hard work EIGHTY YEARS and how long do you think that is?
Even if one lives to be a
HUNDRED YEARS, it's still not long enough.
So, this ONE life is your
life, and you’ve got to fight for it.
Fight for what’s right.
Fight for what you believe
in.
Fight for what’s important to
you.
Fight for the people you love,
and never forget to tell them how much they mean to you.
Realize that right now you’re
lucky because you still have a chance.
So stop for a moment and
think.
Whatever you still need to
do, start doing it today.
There are only so many
tomorrows.
3. The
Sacrifices You Make Today Will Pay Dividends In The Future.
– When it comes to working
hard to achieve a dream – earning a degree, building a business, or any other
personal achievement that takes time and commitment – one thing you have to ask
yourself is: “Am I willing to live a few years of my life like many
people won’t, so I can spend the rest of my life like many people can’t?”.
That is a personal question
and only you can provide the answer.
When we say that people
should learn to live in the present, in the now, that does not in any way mean
that we should not fight to overcome the challenges that life presents to us;
it does not mean that we should not plan for tomorrow which is the future; it
does not mean that we should "eat and dine for tomorrow we die" it
only means that we do not waste our today planning for the tomorrow that may
not be ours. It means that while we plan for tomorrow, we should not postpone
our lives until it arrives because most of the time, that tomorrow never
arrives since every tomorrow eventually turns out to be a today anyways.
4. You
Are Your Most Important Relationship.
– Happiness is when you
feel good about yourself without feeling the need for anyone else’s
approval.
You must first have a healthy
relationship with yourself before you can have a healthy relationship with
others.
You have to feel worthwhile
and acceptable in your own eyes, so that you’ll be able to look confidently
into the eyes of the people around you and connect with them.
Practicing self love on a
daily basis is the way to go in order to be able to cultivate the habit of
loving others, because he who does not love himself is incapable of loving
another for no man giveth what he does not possess.
5. Behind
Every Beautiful Life, There Has Been Some Kind Of Pain.
– You trip and you fall, you
make mistakes and you fail, but you stand strong through it all – you live and
you learn.
You’re human, not
perfect.
You've been wounded, not
defeated.
Think of what a priceless
gift it is to grow through these experiences – to breathe, to think, to
struggle, and to overcome challenges in the pursuit of the things you
love.
Yes, sometimes you will
encounter heartache along the way, but that’s a small price to pay for immeasurable
moments of love and joy.
Which is why you must keep
stepping forward even when it hurts, because you know the inner strength that
has carried you this far can carry you the rest of the way.
And of course, if you're struggling with any of
these points, know that you are not alone.
Many of us are right there
with you, working hard to feel better, think more clearly, and live a life free
of headaches and heartaches.
That beautiful life you see
others living and enjoying did not just happen within the twinkle of an eye, it
took time, it took years, it took many fallings and many failings to achieve.
It took Thomas Edison more
than 900 testing and trying before he could invent the filament that lights the
electric bulb and when his uhuru came, no one remembered what he passed through
to get to that point, he was celebrated and is still being celebrated many
years after he had departed these shores.
You can also have a beautiful
life, having all the pleasures of life at your disposal BUT you have to work it
out not by running like it's a sprint but by making haste slowly.
