FROM A LIFE WELL LIVED

6 TIMELESS LESSONS FROM A LIFE WELL LIVED

(EXTRACTION FROM POST: 10 TIMELESS LESSONS FROM A LIFE WELL LIVED, WRITTEN BY: MARC AT http://www.marcandangel.com)

1. Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed.

Happiness is the sacred experience of living every moment with love and gratitude.  There is always, always, always something to be thankful for and some reason to love.  Appreciate what you’ve got.  Be thankful for the little things in life that mean a lot.

2. Be a student of life every day.

Experience it, learn from it, and absorb all the knowledge you can.  Prepare yourself for greatness by keeping your mind conditioned with fresh knowledge and new challenges.

3. Experience is the best teacher.

Life itself will teach you over the course of time, and often at the right time and place, so that you will remember forever what is truly important.

4. No one is ‘too busy’ in this world.  It’s all about priorities.

Don’t say you don’t have enough time.  You have exactly the same number of hours per day.

5. Be patient and tough.

Pain doesn’t just show up in your life for no reason.  It’s a sign that something needs to change – it’s a wake-up call that guides you toward a better future.  So keep your heart open to dreams, and make that change.  For as long as there is a dream and positive action, there is hope; and as long as there is hope, there is joy in living.

6. Oftentimes it is better to be kind than to be right.

Be kind whenever possible.  It takes a great deal of strength to be gentle and kind.  And when you practice kindness and bring sunshine to the lives of others, you cannot keep it from yourself.
