The 5 Lessons Everyone Should Know

A group of friends and I were having lunch and discussing our lives and what brought us to where we are today. We recanted stories of decision we had made and career choices that seemed to just fly by, but had such an impact on how and where we are in the world today. This sparked a thought with me. It lead me to writing down the 5 lessons I learned that really helped me become who I am today.1.Let your guard down and be vulnerable.Doing this can be challenging but veryself-fulfilling. There is no better way to begin to understand your fears and old wounds then by dropping all the defenses you have learned over your life-time. By letting these old wounds come tothe surface you can begin the healing process and the journey to true happiness.2.A broken heart is the ultimate teacher.Very early on in life we are taught to protect ourselves against pain and hurt. It gets buried deep in our sub-conscious and only comes out when we are in some trying situation, and are unable to proactively deal with it. Learn to love your broken heart, it is what makes you unique and a human being.3.Be willing to forgive to be forgiven.Learning to be compassionate and understanding of others is a trait the world could use more of today. You will come to understand that by offering forgiveness toothers can help you forgive yourself for your own past. In the end, your toughest critic is always you.4.Treat yourself the way you want to be treated.Treating yourself with love, compassion and respect takes one to seek validation from within. Ina world where we are constantly in the spotlight, one must remember to be the first to love themselves. This is a trait that can be so inspiring and helpful to others.5.You can only be loved as much as you can love yourself.Realizing that the greatest love comes from within. You will be able to give and receive love only to the degree you are able to love yourself. This is a simple statement with very complicated nuances.I hope that you can take these 5 lessons away and find success with them. They have been great game changers for me during my own journey. I think if I were to summarize these 5 lessons into a statement I would say, the greatest uncharted areain most people's lives is our own hearts, minds and souls. By taking on the challenge to uncover who you are you will be in a great position to help others do the same.
