20 Things I Have Learnt In My 20s. by pinkpearl17(f): 12:50pm On Mar 07, 2019 |
I have been around in this world for over two decades, so technically, I have learnt a couple of lessons in this imperfect journey of life and would like to share with you. All of which i hope will bring value to you. Here they are; 1. Knowledge is key Reading can change your life. I read virtually anything and everything in order to learn a new thing everyday. I always feel i will not survive a day without reading something even if it is a 300 word article. Reading is likened to travelling the world through the eyes of others. 2. Family is everything People will come and leave but family stays no matter what. Family to some people may not necessarily be blood relations but people you have come to develop a very close bond with and you really trust. These are the ones who will stand by you. To me, family is my parents and siblings. They have been more than i can ask for and i am grateful everyday for the blessing of family. 3. Unforgiveness is a silent killer Holding on to grudges is so outdated. Why give someone that much power over me? I am mastering the act of forgiveness so before anyone offends me, i have already forgiven. 4. Have a good diet and drink water constantly I have learnt over the years how my diet affects my look, mood and health. Now, i take conscious decisions to eat right everyday. Some days, i don't get it right, other days i do. In the end, making an effort is all that matters. 5. Relationships are not a do or die affair So they want to go? Let them They are staying? Put in your best. Take no one for granted. 6. Smart work is equally as important as hardwork It is not enough to work hard but learning how to do things the right way, organizing our schedule to get maximum time benefit and being in the right place at the right time all adds up. 7. Procrastination delays success It is easy and tempting to keep putting off duties and responsibilities for another day but i have learnt that taking one step a day everyday in the direction you want to go is better than doing nothing at all. 8. Love is the cure of all ills. Love extravagantly. You can never go wrong with loving. 9. It is okay to make mistakes We are all flawed. Perfection does not exist in this world so it is normal not to get it right sometimes. It is okay to make wrong decisions , poor choices because emotions plays a huge role in humans and all we do. What matters is what you make out of it. Do you learn from them and move on or stay in the pit of regret ? 10. Intuition, the sixth sense is almost always right. Many of the times i have taken a wrong step are coincindentally the times i did not listen to my guts. Intution can be likened to a guiding force we can use to avoid many pitfalls and take better steps. 11. To be happy in a relationship, be happy with yourself first Self love comes first. We can only find happiness within us and until we do, it will be difficult to flow easy with someone else. 12. Friends come and go What is the big deal in friends who go? People grow apart with time. Life happens, tastes and priorities changes, all these can get in the way of maintaining an association and that is okay. Nothing to beat yourself over. 13. God is real There are times when i get to a 'I can't go any further point' and something just happens to uplift my spirit. If that isn't God, what is? 14. Contentment is key Why compare myself or possessions with another when there is enough to go round in the world? I learnt to be perfectly okay with where i am and what i have, i envy noone. Note, the word here is content not complacent. 15. Gratitude ensures happiness To be happy is to be consciously grateful of all the good things happening or has happened to you. Happiness is not a destination but an attitude. 16. You can do more than you think We limit ourselves in our mind due to a number of factors like how we grew up, the people we have been listening to and societal dictates but i have come to realize that the embargoes exist only in my mind. I stretch myself beyond what i think. If i think i can do 4, i do 8. 17. Learn a new hobby Whether it is instrument, dancing singing, playing a sport, a new language, taking care of the elderly, learn something new. 18. Be kind to others Life is tough. Everybody has a point of pain somewhere in their lives. Don't add to it with nastiness. Use kind words and action as a healing balm to everyone you come across. 19. The regret of what you didn't do is bigger than the regret of what you did. It is better to attempt something than sit back and let life pass you by. It is better to say 'i did it and failed' than 'i wish i had done it'. 20. Don't take life too seriously Whatever you do, don't forget to play, laugh, have fun, nor take things personal. It is not that serious. What lessons have you learnt in your life? Feel free to share. https://musingsandroses./2019/03/07/20-lessons-i-have-learnt-in-life/ 16 Likes 3 Shares |

Yh good Points amd All but As a Nigerian Approaching 40 who is Well travelled and exposed I Can tell you for a certainty that this things are very difficult in the Nigerian Society, Due to so many Shiits wrong with our thinking and People. Even Most Young people that you expect to be more Liberal don't even care About stuff like these Take a look at No 3,4,8,14 and 18 Due to so many factors this things are Just So difficult to Achieve, except you become a Loner Sort of @ OP, I'm not criticising you I'm just reflecting on how our society has Just Been turningoniown 2 Likes |
