Life Lessons & Wisdom
In my life, I've learned quite a few "gems" of wisdom in my time. I'm hoping to maybe share some I've learned personally, and perhaps start a discussion on certain things you've all learned within your life... all said:
This is all I have, (for now), but I have a few more. Anyone else have such "Life Wisdom?" (Again, keep it positive). |
Re: Life Lessons & Wisdom
Good stuff. :up: Thank you for sharing.
The food thing is underrated. A lot of people agree it matters, but still seem to harbor this belief that the physical and the mental are nearly separate things, but they really aren't. I saw a little list once, something about depression. I'll butcher it, but it was something like: You feel depressed. Okay, how did you sleep? Drink some water. Make sure you're not hungry/low on blood sugar. Eat a piece of fruit. Have you had any contact with another person recently? Go outside for a few minutes, get some sun. ...and so on. And the idea is to run through this each time you feel bad to see if you "actually" feel bad or if you've just neglected something basic in a way that's having downstream effects on your mental well-being. I "know" this and I still "forget" it all the time, at least in the sense of underrating it. Heck, sometimes I'm in a strangely good mood and I realize it's because I'd just finished listening to Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al" or something. I'll think a bit more about which little nuggets I'd pick if I had to pick just a few, but initially I just wanted to echo that one. |

Most all of my life's wisdom I learned from Star Trek, (but not the JJ Abraham's crap).
'You can't free a fish from water.' |
More, (I'll try to make this quick for now than maybe elaborate on it later as I have some place to be soon, but...):
I'll add more to this later, but for now I got to go. Peace be with you all! Looking forward to hearing more from you! Great stuff so far! |

Re: Life Lessons & Wisdom
The greatest wisdom I could ever give is this:
When you reach the threshold of understanding that your emotions are physical fluids running through your body... you'll never be the same again. |
Re: Life Lessons & Wisdom
I mean, not understanding like you read it in a book. Understanding like you see and know whats going on.

- When times get tough always give yourself a moment of pause (or a timeout) before making any rash decisions.
- Forgiveness is for you, not the person you're forgiving. - Never go it alone. Always have backup. As they say in the military, "Two is one and one is none." - Your word is the only thing you truly have in life. - Whatever you're facing, it's not as bad as you think it is. - Never allow other people to rent space in your head or control your emotions. - To be great you must fail a lot. - In regards to excuses vs results, "Don't talk about the labor pains, just show me the baby." - Asking for help is a sign of strength. - If you have one foot in the future and one foot in the past, you're pissing on the present. - Don't live in the past but don't forget it either. |
