Things that I need to learn live by.... and are so true

"Never Settle For Mediocrity Because You Deserve Better Than That Life is short and you can never know how long you have left. That's why it is so important to never settle for mediocrity. Don't settle for a loveless relationship, an unhappy marriage, a job you hate, friends you can't stand or for less than you could be. You always have this moment to decide." Tezza

1. Focus Less On The Destination And Just Enjoy The Journey If you're always focused on the destination, life will pass you by and you'll never get it back. There is always going to be a new destination once the old one is reached. There is always going to be deadlines, disasters to manage and havoc to get under control. It's human nature to never be satisfied with being in the one place. 2. Realize that your always doing the best you can with what you know at the time it happened. You can't change the past and it's futile to want to shape the future but you have this moment to make a choice. Trust in yourself that you are doing the best job you can, with the resources and wisdom you have at this moment. 3. It's More Important To Find Your Own Voice Than To Be A Poor Imitator Of Someone Else's As a child you are dependent on advice from adults to guide and keep you safe. As we get older we realize that most adults are just trying to find their way through life as we are in ours. Listen to your own small voice within to guide you even in the face of all objections. 4. It's Okay To Break The Rules Every Now And Then We each have a responsibility to be discerning as to what rules are in our interest and which aren't. If you are undecided a great rule of thumb is whether it does any harm to others. If it doesn't do any harm than decide for yourself. You are the keeper of your own destiny. Question everything and don't accept anything as truth just because everyone else seems to believe or follow it as their truth. 5. Never Settle For Mediocrity Because You Deserve Better Than That Life is short and you can never know how long you have left. That's why it is so important to never settle for mediocrity. Don't settle for a loveless relationship, an unhappy marriage, a job you hate, friends you can't stand or for less than you could be. You always have this moment to decide. It's painful to settle for mediocrity for one year. It's disastrous to settle for one year and one day. Don't let that be you. 6. Trust your instincts. It's smarter than you are. 7. Don't Be In Such A Hurry Don't try to live life a hundred miles an hour. Don't wish to grow up too quickly because it's not all that it's cracked up to be when you get there. Instead learn to just enjoy where you are at, whether it's being a kid, a teenager, an adult or a parent. Be there fully in the moment because before you know it time will pass and you'll be in a different period of your life. 8. Don't Sweat The Small Stuff. It's All Small Stuff. 9. Forgive Quickly. Anger Slowly. Anger, past hurt and suffering caused by others are insidious and only feeds upon itself. Anger and hatred not only limits the person you can be but it also causes you to make poor decisions with your life. Forgiving others quickly gives you a sense of peace that no one else can give you. 10. When The Sh*t Hits The Fan, You Know Who Your True Friends Are I've had my fair share of friends who haven't been healthy to my well-being and I've also been blessed with amazing friends. I've found that it is so important to associate with good people who have your best interests at heart because nothing is worse than going through life with fake friends. To attract good people in your life it begins with you becoming the kind of friend you want to have.

List of thing to know when you were young but realized too late.

Vague mismash of truth and falsehood. Silly reasons to pretend everything is fine and not take your own life seriously. Not quite worthy of a thumbs down, because the inteligent will draw lessons from bits and pieces here.

Thanks ShirlT From the page: "3. It's More Important To Find Your Own Voice Than To Be A Poor Imitator Of Someone Else's As a child you are dependent on advice from adults to guide and keep you safe. As we get older we realize that most adults are just trying to find their way through life as we are in ours. Listen to your own small voice within to guide you even in the face of all objections. Your path to sanity, happiness and fulfillment depends on your courage to find your voice and to act on it at every opportunity. Those who truly have your best interest at heart, who love you unconditionally will eventually get over it. They want what is best for you. Remember you are never going to please everyone. It is a futile endeavor to think otherwise and the only real casualty is yourself."
