Lessons of 2008
21/12/08
It is amazing how 2008 just flew pass by me.
I know it sounds clichéd because I believe every other person has the same comment. But for me it is true. It was a year of many discoveries. Some positive, others not so. Happiness versus heartbreak moments. Memories that will last a lifetime.
Through them all, I have picked up some life lessons that I would love to share.
Responsibility – Taking charge of your life begins with being able to take responsibility for the things that we have done be it for the greater good or just because we are the devil’s advocate. If you choose to run away from responsibility, you will be running forever. Responsibility is scary at times but in the end, everything will work out.
Love – It is alright to fall in love and be vulnerable once in a while. It is alright to feel pain when love is lost. It is alright to just feel for once. Love is the mother of all emotions and all emotions are created equal.
Humanity – Hating people is alright as long as you still believe in humanity. There is good in every person no matter how horrible they may seem.
Career – There is no harm in trying for something you really want. Stagnation can only damage you. You are your own biggest supporter. Set the bar higher than usual, you will be amazed at the wonders that unfold.
Self Awareness – You do not always need to know the answer and that is alright.
Humility – No matter what happens in life. Always remember these 4 words. “THIS TOO, SHALL PASS�
Passion – Life is more enjoyable when you are passionate about something.
Money – It is just a tool. It does not define you. If you are skillful, money is a great servant. If not, money is the master of horrors.
Spirituality – Never underestimate the power of prayer. It is magical.
Individuality – Just be yourself. You are who you are and should not spend time trying to defend it or explain yourself. There will be haters, no doubt, but why bother, they are spending their time obsessing over your lack of conformity. You have FANS!!!
As the New Year comes forth, I hope I will be much wiser then. Happy New Year!!!
