Important Life Lessons..................... We should learn with Age.................
We often let the little frustrations of each day stop us from appreciating life in the present moment. But, as we grow older, we learn to detach ourselves from the drama and the chaos we once engaged in. As we age, we become more humble about life and are less willing to spend our time on vain things. Now that I am over Seventy ....the following are Strictly my personal opinion....&....my personal view point.......
Age is only a number, we are only as old, as we feel, biologically one could be older or younger.....and that does not matter..... never feel or say that you are old...... Believe in yourself ...&... Believe in your Creator .....Here are some important life lessons that I have learned over 70 years.
Day-to-day frustrations are inevitable. Very rarely do we have full control of all situations. And, as stressful as it may be, what is bothering us so much today won't matter a month from now. And, with age we know this for certain.........Let go of the nonsense...... stay positive, and move forward with your life.
How perfect everything ought to be..... There is a big difference between reasonable striving and perfectionism. Perfectionism causes you unnecessary stress and anxiety, created by the superficial need to get it right. But getting lost in striving to achieve perfection prevents you from getting anything worthwhile done.......Let go of the fantasies, and the perfect moments you have made yourself believe.
The intricacies of what is in it for you, With age, you learn that you keep nothing in this life until you give it away first. This can be applied to knowledge, forgiveness, service, love, tolerance and acceptance, so on so forth. It is easy to forget that giving opens us up to grace.....and..... learn to......Give, in order to receive.
The pressure of acting immediately ,While getting things done hurriedly may seem better when we are younger, in time we come to realize the importance of slow and steady work. In addition, we often believe that the big things are what will make a difference but overlook the fact that a simple smile can brighten somebody else's day.....Remember.....You cannot plant a seed and expect it to become a flower overnight. By the same token you can not bow useless weeds and expect to grow beautiful Flowers.
Wanting expensive physical possessions.... Later in life we learn to pay less attention to physical possessions that used to seem so vital.......Remember.....The things you really want cannot be bought....but have to be attained.
Winning approval from others.... The strength of your conviction is what determines your level of personal success in the long run, not the number of people who agree with the things you do.....Follow the path that promises your heart genuine peace.
The selfish things others say and do..... If we had to take everything personally, we would be offended for the rest of our life. When you detach yourself from other people's antics you feel free....and light....Remember....The way people treat you is their KARMA.....and..... How you react is yours.
Judging others for their shortcomings.... We all have days where we are not in our best. But the older we get, the more we come to realize how vital it is to give others the break that they deserve, and hope that they too will do the same on our own bad days. Truth be told....... we never really know what someone has been through, or what they are really going through today..........Therefore......Be kind, generous, and respectful, and then be on your way.
Blaming others.... A happy person never evades responsibility or blames and points fingers at others, making excuses for their unsatisfying life. Happiness is a byproduct of your own thinking, beliefs, attitudes, character, and behavior.....&....... You alone are responsible for how your life will unfold.
The shallow relationships that make you feel more popular, While acquaintances are nice to have, and friendliness is a good quality, dedicate your time to those that matter most.......Remember......Your time is limited....and Sooner or later you want to be around the few people who make you smile for the right reasons.
Distant future possibilities.... As we age..... it becomes inevitably clear that we have more time behind us and less in front of us. As a result, the distant future gradually has less value to us on a personal level. The secret to happiness and peace is letting this moment be what it is, instead of what you think it should be. Then make the best of it.....You know...............Some people wait all day for 5 pm, all week for Friday, all year for the holidays and all their lives for happiness. Don't allow yourself to become one of these people.
Society's obsession with outer beauty.... As we get older, what we look like on the outside becomes less of an issue. The primary point of interest lies on who we have become on the inside. Eventually we come to realize that beauty has almost nothing to do with looks......
Beauty lies in how we make others feel about themselves and how we feel about ourselves.........being graceful..........&......Only with LOVE......JK
