EverydayLifeLessons

Collection of everyday life lessons from website.

It’s the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary. I believe this to be true and have experienced this with my own family. When I think of the times where we laughed the most or had the most fun – it was when we were doing simple, everyday things like swimming in a pool, combing a beach for shells, playing a board game or sharing a delicious meal.

We are all weird. And life is weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we call it love.

Spend less than you earn, go without until you have the money in hand.

No matter how much progress you make there will always be the people who insist that whatever you’re trying to do is impossible. Or they may incessantly suggest that the idea or dream as a whole is utterly ridiculous because nobody really cares. When you come across these people, don’t try to reason with them. Instead, forget that they exist. They will only waste your time and energy.

People change, things go wrong. Just remember life goes on.

Yes, it’s okay. I've made mistakes too. Life didn't come with instructions.

The easiest way to not get hurt is to not care, but that's one of the hardest things to do.

Be true to yourself always. The worst person you can decieve is you. Whatever happens in life you need to be able to look in the mirror and respect YOU.

Appreciate life even it’s not perfect. Happiness is not fulfillment of what we wish for, but an appreciation of what we have.

There's nothing I dread more about growing up than waking up one day in a few years and realizing that I don't love what I do.

It's not that we stop loving someone,it's just that we have to learn to live without them.

Respect isn't something you get by saying all the right words. Words can easily be a lie to get what you want. Respect is an attitude of acknowledging the feelings of another. You get respect for how you act and how you treat other people.

Making mistakes is something everyone does.  Learning from them is not.

Be intimidated by the fear of being average, and then rise above it and be extraordinary.

As you find the good that exists in others, you discover the love that exists within you.

Don't let your emotions distract you from doing what needs to be done. Control your emotions so your emotions do not control you.

Don't ever mistake my silence for ignorance, my calmness for acceptance or my kindness for weakness.

It only takes one person to make you happy and change your life: YOU.

Sometimes you just have to do what's best for you and your own dreams, not what's best for others and their dreams.
Remember, YOU can only do YOUR best. If someone else can't appreciate that, it's THEIR problem, not yours.

Sometimes you must experience a low point in life in order to learn a lesson you wouldn't have learned any other way.

Obsessed is just a word lazy people use to describe dedicated people.

A moment of success is just the final page of a story. It holds very little meaning without knowing the rest of the story leading up to it.
