Last June, I turned 37. My birthday seems to come sooner and sooner every year much like the holidays. Over the last few years, I’ve started to reflect on what I’ve learned in life and I’d like to use this blog to document these life lessons. This will be an evolving list and it will be interesting to see how it changes over time…
*In no particular order*
(1) Generally speaking, no one will ever love you more than your parents.
(2) People are not very good at determining what will make them happy. We mostly guess or look at what other people are doing.
(3) In order to better understand happiness, you need to study it.
(4) Money can lead to freedom, fun and convenience, but not lasting happiness.
(5) The quality of your life is often determined by the number of uncomfortable situations you put yourself in.
(6) Do not define yourself by what others can take away (e.g. occupation, money, possessions).
(7) History does and will repeat itself.
(8) Don’t spend too much time worrying about what other people think. Use that time towards being a good person and the rest will follow.
