51 life lessons we should all learn

“The important thing is to fight to live life, to suffer it, to enjoy it, to lose with dignity and to dare again. “Life is wonderful if you are not afraid of it.”

-Charlie Chaplin-

Before you complain, look around you and be thankful for what you have…

“With each day I live I am more convinced that the waste of life lies in the love that has not been given, in the powers that have not been used, in the selfish prudence that risks nothing and that, avoiding pain, It prevents us from achieving happiness.”

-Mary Chomodeley-

“In life there are three things that do not come back: the arrow shot, the word spoken and the opportunity lost”

-Chinese proverb-

“Sincerity will always lead us to hate ourselves a little”

-Mario Benedetti-

True love is not reduced to the physical or the romantic, true love is the acceptance of everything that the other is, what has been, what will be and what is no longer.

The way you see the world is your personal version of it. No one else shares the same version of reality.

There is no lack of time, there is a lack of interest, because when people really want, the early morning becomes day, Tuesday becomes Saturday and a moment becomes opportunity.

Remember that the meaning of life is not precisely to obtain everything we want, but rather to know how to share everything we have and know.

Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh hard and never regret something that made you happy.

“I learned that courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not the one who does not feel fear, but the one who conquers that fear.”

-Nelson Mandela-

Sometimes we don’t value the people who are closest to us.. Those family members we can always count on or those friends who are always willing to lend us a hand. We only appreciate what we have if we ever lose it.

A friendship does not grow because of the presence of people, but because of the magic of knowing that even though you see them, you carry them in your heart.

True friendship is not about who came first or who has known you the longest. It’s about who came and never left.

If you don’t take care of someone in your present, don’t expect to see them in the future, because by then you will already be their past.

Family are the people in your life who love you in theirs. They are those who accept you for who you are. Those who would do anything to see you smile and those who love you no matter what. Many people do not find in their blood family the support that other people do give them. and this is because blood is not the most important thing when we talk in terms of love.

I like the verb “resist.” Resist what imprisons us, prejudices, hasty judgments, the desire to judge, everything that is evil in us and that only wants to express itself, the desire to abandon, the need to complain, the need to talk about oneself to the detriment of the other, to fashions, to unhealthy ambitions, to ambient confusion. Resist, and… smile

-Emma Dancourt-

It seems like simple advice, but many times we are bound by prejudices and biases that need to be constantly reviewed.

In the world there are many people and animals that suffer at the hands of others. It is everyone’s task to end the injustices that are committed.

Your feelings are valid. If you need to cry, cry, and then move on.

A world where some living beings are above others is a world that will never function properly. Don’t let them step on you and don’t step on yourself either.

You only have one, and it’s beautiful. The wonders that populate our world should not disappear due to the actions of man.

You will always have some privilege compared to another group. It is your responsibility to use it to make their lives better and free from suffering.

The mistakes that humanity makes are cyclical. Learn from the past so that the future is better.

Money does not buy happiness, but, unfortunately, it is still necessary to survive. Therefore, always save a part of your income for when it stops coming in.

Do you remember all that stuff you say you’re going to do and it accumulates in a corner of your mind full of cobwebs? Well, it’s time to start doing them and stop bothering you.

Nobody in this world is an island. Reach out to those who walk with you, but also take those who reach out to you.

A problem has never been solved by finding someone to blame. Find a way to fix it, it will be time for punishment if necessary.

You would be surprised at the number of judgments that are made throughout the day. Many of them could be avoided by giving it a second thought and, in the long run, your thinking will become more open and tolerant.

It is true that the greatness of the universe is overwhelming. However, don’t forget to look at the wrinkles on the elephant’s skin and the pollen that the bee carries on its legs. The world is wonderful on all levels.

If you can change something, do it, but if you can’t, what’s the point of hitting the glass over and over again? Accept what you have no power over and change the direction of your decisions.

Another statement that is easier to recommend than to carry out. However, this long-distance race is necessary for everyone and, above all, to achieve happiness.

Whether it’s the waiter who brings you your beer, the doctor who cures you, or the employee who runs your business, everyone has the right to be treated kindly.

Although this is not incompatible with listening to that song you like until you hate it, a happy life is a life full of stimuli and experiences.

Hard work is necessary, but so is rest. Don’t beat yourself up and give yourself a break from time to time.

It’s all very well to be kind, open and tolerant, but don’t let that cloud your assertiveness.

You are a valid, worthy person with the right to be happy, even if the world sometimes seems to want to tell you otherwise.

Happiness is not achieved by magic nor is it given to you by others (usually). Learn to plant it and make it grow.

When success appears effortless, it has another name: luck. For everything else, remember that there will be stumbles along the way.

Although this statement is distressing for many, it is something that must be accepted. Always ask yourself why, but also accept the absence of answers.

We have already said it: money does not buy happiness. Therefore, use what you have to make your life and the lives of others better.

Really not. Work is an important pillar in anyone’s life, but you shouldn’t let it break the rest of the legs of your table. Oh, and be a good partner.

You don’t need drinks to have a good time (or any other substance), nor do you need to do all those activities they tell you you should do before you die. Dedicate yourself to what you like.

Always look deeper inside. No matter how transparent someone is, try to find their essence, because if you trust the exterior and nothing else, you will end up being disappointed.

Don’t let anyone devalue your work. You have done it with your effort and with all the sense of responsibility you have, and that has to be recognized and paid for.

Although sometimes things fall from the sky, you can’t spend your life looking up. Get going and pursue your goals.

Your brain and, therefore, your mind, are what connects you with the outside and inside of your being. Keep them fresh and healthy to enjoy life more.

Many people feel that sport is not made for them. However, everything can be a game. When you have a great time, fatigue and soreness take a backseat.

Everyone wants to achieve their goals. However, some are further away than others. Never stop walking.

You have some ability, I’m sure. Enjoy it, apply it to life and let it make you shine.

This is the best and most general advice of all. Explore all facets of life and indulge in them until your memory is the best adventure book in the world.
