10 Tough Lessons for a More Meaningful Existence
A meaningful life is not a life-shaped
by happy days and comfort,
it is a life where you overcome an obstacle,
live by your virtues, transform yourself,
and become who you are meant to become.
In short, it is not a comfortable life.
But there is happiness found in this journey that you will never find
if you stick to your comfort zone.
Staying too much in your comfort zone breeds depression.
The tough road may not be comfortable,
but it is the road you are meant to walk, so walk it.
Here are the 10 Tough Lessons for a More Meaningful Existence:
1. You are not special; everyone has their own struggles.
The idea of a person seeing himself
as the center of the universe is unhealthy.
You make your problems sound bigger
than they actually are, and your blessings seem godly.
Shift your focus from yourself only
and realize that others also have problems.
2. Life is not always fair; accept the unpredictability.
Life will never give you everything you wish for
and that’s how it is.
Accept the unfairness
and work with what you have to get what you want.
3. Your comfort zone is limiting; growth requires discomfort.
Your comfort zone is where all your untapped potential dies.
You will never see how amazing you can become if you stay there.
4. You will disappoint others; it’s unavoidable.
Standing up for something means standing up against something.
In your life, you will eventually have to stand up for something
which will trigger a negative response in others.
That’s completely okay; stand up for what you believe in.
5. Time is your most precious resource; use it wisely.
Your time is limited and irreplaceable.
Be aware of this fact
and spend it with those who deserve it the most.
6. You are responsible for your own happiness; it’s not someone else’s job.
Take responsibility for your happiness and work on it.
Don’t expect others to make you happy;
it is unhealthy to think like that.
Your surroundings only add to your happiness;
they should never be the source of it.
7. Not everyone will appreciate your efforts; do it for yourself.
If others do not recognize your effort,
it means they don’t care.
Learn to move on and let go of people when necessary.
8. You will face loss; it’s a natural part of life.
We all experience loss: people, opportunities, or moments,
and that’s natural.
Accept this reality; I know it is hard to swallow this pill
but it helps you when grieving.
9. Your past does not dictate your future; you have the power to change.
Your past got you to where you are now,
but your present decision will define your future.
Don’t focus much on the past,
and start working on the future you want.
10. Life is fleeting; prioritize experiences over possessions.
Yes.
