At times, I\u2019ve found myself wishing that I had learned certain life lessons a little sooner. So much good can come from examining life lessons learned. It\u2019s never too late to take a page from your own book, recognize the good and the bad and turn things around \u2013 or simply in a new, positive direction.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a few of my own life lessons learned that I would love to share with you:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Live life in the here and now<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">There\u2019s so many things to look forward to. The future holds hope and the promise of amazing things to come. In the midst of planning the next event, project or meeting, it\u2019s so easy to forget to live in the here and now. Life is now. If you can learn to live in the right now, your life will be so much more fulfilling.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t let fear rule you<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">For many of us, fear is the worst thing that could happen to us. Fear of failing. Fear of starting something new. Fear of losing everything you\u2019ve worked for. Fear of commitment. Fear of rejection. Fear of change. Fortunately, things are rarely as bad as they initially seem. In fact, reality is rarely as painful as our fears make things appear.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Make time for relationships<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Our modern world keeps us <em>busy<\/em>. Work. Computer. Meetings. Deadlines. It\u2019s so easy to push the important things in life to the back burner. Worst case: you push things off for so long that they fade away. Life has a way of going on without us before we even realize what is happening. We need relationships. Keeping up with the people that matter most in our lives is so important. Relationships need time, attention and care. Don\u2019t forget to treat the people in your life like they are everything to you \u2013 because they truly are.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Failure isn\u2019t always a bad thing<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Deep down, I think we all fear failure. We hide from it, and avoid it at all costs. However, where there has been failure, there is also evidence of having tried. Without effort, failure can\u2019t happen. Failure is a part of life. Until we learn to expect and accept it, we can\u2019t learn the value of learning. Failed attempts provide us with opportunities to grow, learn, move on and succeed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">[tweetthis]Life has a tendency of getting a bit bumpy, doesn\u2019t it? [\/tweetthis]<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Posturing creates walls<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Each of us has insecurities to deal with. In fact, many of them affect our every-day more than we realize. Creating a persona to impress others or shield ourselves from pain is so easy to do. In an effort to present our best self, we diminish intimacy and authenticity. When we posture ourselves, people can see right through it. They can sense when you\u2019re not being honest with yourself, or with them. Ultimately, it makes them push us away.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">In the words of Charles R. Swindoll, \u201cI know of nothing more valuable, when it comes to the all-important virtue of authenticity, than simply being who you are.\u201d<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong>Find and follow your passion<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">I am passionate about what I do. You can like what you do without being <em>passionate<\/em> about what you\u2019re doing. If you find something you love, hold onto it. Every day will feel like a gift to wake up to. Sure, even those that love what they do will have a tough day every now and then. But the satisfaction and joy from pursuing your passion will begin to spill over into every other aspect of your life.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><strong>Pleasing everyone is impossible<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">So many people fail to learn this lesson until they are well into their later years in life. After years of trying to please everyone around them, they either lose their identity or suddenly realize it\u2019s impossible to make everyone happy. Only then do they realize they\u2019ve wasted so much time in not pursuing who they <em>really<\/em> are.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">It\u2019s human nature to want to belong and to be liked. We all want to be respected and to feel valued. However, the most successful people learn that you can\u2019t spend all of your time seeking validation from others. Take a step back. Spend some time looking within yourself. There is a liberating feeling that follows the realization that you simply need to demand respect and stay true to your values. The <em>right<\/em> people will be attracted to this.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li><strong>Health is one of the most valuable assets<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">In the past, I\u2019ve shared how pivotal it was for me when I took steps to regain my health. In focusing on self-control, I was able to get a handle on my health. The modern world we live in is <em>so<\/em> busy and distracting. Before you know it, you\u2019re living in the fast food drive-through and relying on caffeine to power you through.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Your body and your health are an invaluable treasure. Appreciate, nurture and protect it. It\u2019s something that\u2019s so easy to take for granted while we have it, but devastating when we suddenly don\u2019t. Treating my body as the temple that it is had both physical and emotional rewards for me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u201cDo you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies\u201d (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, NIV).<\/p>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li><strong>Maintaining perspective is crucial \u2013 and a beautiful thing<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">It\u2019s so easy to allow yourself to become worried and upset. I\u2019ve experienced it. You\u2019ve likely experienced it. We\u2019ve all been there. We don\u2019t reach these moments suddenly; we arrive at them over time because we\u2019ve lost perspective. It\u2019s easy to look at each hiccup, mistake or situation as a big, ugly monster rearing its head.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">In the grand scheme of things, will it really matter 20, 30 or even 40 years from now? Getting caught up in the short-term prevents us from looking at the possibilities of the long-term. Unless it\u2019s life-threatening, sometimes letting it go and moving on is best.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u201cTherefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own\u201d (Matthew 6:34, NIV).<\/p>\n<ol start=\"10\">\n<li><strong>Above all, exercise gratitude <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Focusing on everything you\u2019ve been blessed with is a much better use of brain power. Gratitude truly multiplies positivity and well-being. It brings a sense of happiness and peace to your life. Plan a fun day with your family this weekend. Meet a friend at your local coffee shop to do some catching up. Cherish the smiles on your kid\u2019s faces. Take your dogs to the lake for a swim. Go for a walk, and enjoy the changes around you as summer turns into fall.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Being grateful doesn\u2019t always have to be about celebrating life\u2019s big wins and accomplishments. Gratitude and happiness are, more often than not, linked with the little things in life. The things that truly matter.<\/p>\n<p>Especially for the entrepreneur, learning is a gift. Key qualities \u2013 adaptability, empathy, humility, resiliency, flexibility, mediation, etc. \u2013 can only be gained through first-hand experiences. Would you jump at the chance to talk to your younger self and share the wisdom you have now? Or do you feel that doing so would take away from opportunities you had\/have to learn and grow through life\u2019s ups and downs?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Life has a tendency of getting a bit bumpy, doesn\u2019t it?
