Life is a journey, not a destination, how often we have come across such
wonderful quotes in our daily lives. We read with great admiration but soon
forget. And we reason out, our busy schedule not allowing us to follow those
ideals. When we have a ton of thoughts weighing on our minds, the so-called
targets, to-do list, responsibilities and commitments to be fulfilled, we tend
to ignore and overlook little aspects of life that make up our days. We
navigate through phases unaware.
But life has its own way to teach us its lessons and there comes a time
where life takes the charge. We simply fall into the pattern of discovering ourselves.
Lessons we learn
from our journey of life are:
1. As we grow our
world expands. New people, new targets and new surroundings replace the old
ones. None can be our lifetime support or help. It is only we for ourselves.
2. Responsibility and emotions go hand in hand. We just cannot give in or give
up. All we need to do is to control our emotions to have that desired outcome,
if only we wish for it.
3. Package of life are moments of happiness, sadness, anxiety, dullness,
monotony, frustrations, hatred, fulfillment, peace and voids. It is perfectly
okay to go easy on ourselves especially when we feel the journey unpleasant.
4. Letting go of the people, our past and
grudges is the only way to move on and it is never difficult if we put in
little efforts. There, we emerge much stronger and confident.
5. Nothing is permanent. Each day, each moment, each instance, each person we
encounter will just pass by us. Everything comes with a validity period and
lifespan.
6. Everything that happens for a reason and there always will be lessons to be
learnt, be it an instance or a person.
7. The more we resist the more complicated things turn out. So, being calm
during tough times is important to regain balance.
8. Everything that matters, is our way of thoughts. Haven’t we all come across
certain situations, when we are happy, the toughest situations too turn out to
be in our favour.
9. Enjoyment in life is nothing but the inner peace. This enlightenment dawns
only during midlife.
10. Happy moments are in those little things of our daily lives than something
very significant.
11. Wealth and money is just one part of life. Good health and mental peace are
two necessities of life.
12. People come and go, emotions comes and leaves and money earned and spent.
The one thing that is constant is our principles. After all, we need to face
ourselves at the end of our day.
13. We neither can be someone else nor can we live for someone. It is for
ourselves we need to live.
14. No matter how hard we try to learn from other’s experiences, it is only our
experiences that teach us our lessons of life.
15. The greatest achievement in life is to simply fulfill our responsibilities
abiding by not the rules of the society but our self-made rules.
16. Accept ourselves with all our flaws and strengths. Just as other people
cannot be changed, we too have our own temperaments. Hence, being comfortable
in our own skin can help us be happy, living a content life.
17. With the art of balancing, be it, people, emotions or responsibilities, we
can fit in perfectly in the society.
18. There will be n number of reasons to regret, to complain or to be
disappointed in life. However, nothing much really matters, expect we for
ourselves.
19. Life is all about evolution. We evolve each moment. It is just not a
result, rather a process. Life is all about constant change and adaptability.
20. Our reaction is the only thing that can ruin or restore a certain
situation. The decision is up to us.
The journey of life brings us closer to a truth that life is a pleasant
journey only if you allow it to be. It is not from where we come, it is where
and how we reach. So, why make it tough for ourselves considering the past?
When we all have just one life, why can’t it be a fun ride?
