i came across a list someone had made called "wisdom of the soul." i loved the idea, so decided to start my own list, using some of their ideas and some of mine. here are the ones i have now. feel free to add on and maybe i will do another post like this in the future.
things i've learned:
1. no one can ruin your day, without your permission.
2. most people will be as happy as they decide to be.
3. others can stop you temporarily but only you can stop yourself permanently.
4. whatever you are willing to put up with, is exactly what you will have.
5. success stops when you do.
6. you will never "have it all together."
7. life's biggest lie: "when i get what i want, i will be happy."
8. the best way to escape your problem, is to solve it.
9. "takers" lose and "givers" win.
10. if you don't start, it's certain you won't arrive.
11. we often fear the thing we want the most.
12. look for opportunities, not guarantees.
13. you do not have to attend every argument you're invited to.
14. stop waiting for things to get better -- make it happen for yourself.
15. never make yourself believe you don't deserve something.
16. if God brought you to it, He'll get you through it.
17. most people are just as insecure as you are.
18. YOU limit yourself.
19. be kind. everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
20. don't write people off immediately. my closest friends are the ones i thought i would never have anything in common with.
21. TRY. how else will you ever know?
22. if you do what you always do, you'll get what you've always got.
23. life is about change. nothing will ever be the same as it is right now.
