20 Lessons I wish I had learned earlier

Now that I’m old and gray (but not quite in my rocker yet!) I look back on my life and think about things I wish I knew earlier.
 It would have made my life so much easier if I knew then what I know now.

Here’s my list of things I wish I could turn back the hands of time to tell my younger self. Maybe it’s not too late for you.


There is only one question to ask yourself: “What would you do if you were not afraid?”

It’s often hard to tell just how close you are to success.
   
The only mistake that can truly hurt you is choosing to do nothing simply because you’re too scared to make a mistake.

Never let success get to your head, and never let failure get to your heart.

You have to fight through some bad days to earn the best days of your life.
   
Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.
   
Do what you love, not what you think you’re supposed to do.
   
Laughter is the best medicine for stress.  Laugh at yourself often.
   
If you want to feel rich, just count all the great things you have that money can’t buy.
   
Forgiving yourself is far more important than getting others to forgive you.

If you awake every morning with the thought that something

wonderful will happen in your life today, you’ll often find that you’re right.
Be nice to yourself. 
   
Don’t dwell on the past or worry about the future for too long.  Right now is life.  Live it.
   
No matter how cautiously you choose your words, someone will always twist them around and misinterpret what you say.  Just say what you need to say.
   
Not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of good luck.
   
If you are passionate about something, pursue it, no matter what anyone else thinks.  That’s how dreams are achieved.

There is only one question to ask yourself: “What would you do if you were not afraid?”
   
For the most part, it doesn’t matter what people think.  Follow your own truth.
   
As Henry Ford put it, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you are right.”
   
You have to accept that some things will never be yours, and learn to appreciate the things that are only yours.
