Thread: Most Important Lesson You Have Learned

How to be a good loser and to accept when defeat is defeat.

don't hate the player, hate the game

Not looking for fault but looking for reason instead.... and hence seeing the world the way it is instead of making it look the way I want it to look.

Do not, and I mean DO NOT, tell your gf that you didn't reply to her message because you where sleepy( To bad for us LDers)

The most important lesson was learning how to be nothing and to look at that which can be nothing.

I love it how you can find some serious deep shit here on dreamviews. Most important lesson? I've learned that I already know all the answers to everything, as does each every other. Acting upon those answers is the hardest part.

Accept the things you cannot change.

I know that it's a very common quote to hear, but I never really KNEW it until I accepted it (magic mushrooms were very helpful )

Strive to love and seek truth, and shine that light everywhere. Hate and deceit are not of us, and dims the light.

My problem is the light of truth tends to piss people off. I guess it's like shining a flashlight straight into another person's face. I need to learn how to be more indirect.

But it's hard for people to come into an indirect light, just makes more obstacles needed to seek the truth. You need only plant seeds whether people decide to grow it now, or later when all else fails them. One might have regrets later for not being that bright light that may or may not piss people off because then you never had a chance to show it on the people who needed it. But perhaps you meant letting them come to the light you shine with example rather than trying to force light on people who are to blind to even see it

Took me years, but I've finally learnt that happiness is a choice.

I have three:

1: Stay true to yourself/accept change (good change, not changing to fit in)

2: Life is what you make it

3: No matter how bad times are, God is always there for you

Here's one. In the end, there will always be ONE person there for you. And that person is yourself, so you better take care of that person. Shower, work out, study, develop hobbies, etc. Could go on forever with that list.

Do not trust anybody. Judge people by their actions and not by their words.

I've always viewed words to be a type of action. It kind of depends on the situation. It's entirely possible for someone to say something and do another, not because they were lying, but because they have some internal conflict going on.

Well they shouldn't say it then. So you can judge them as dishonest or confused or something. But you cannot judge them based on what they say.

Words are merely an illusion. And we are indeed hynotized of this illusion.

Whatever you do, always have a backup plan. And an ace in the hole.

Please. I have seen loads of people with money whom are happy. That is just what the rich say to keep you poor.

Fixed. Speaking from experience, other humans can deceive you just as easily through actions as they can through words.

if you don't confront your fears you will always carry that fear with you regardless of how hard you try to fight it or push it away. and that fear will always be an invisible barrier between you and your full potential.

Live in the moment.

It's amazing how much stress I loss when I discovered this.

Out of all the lessons that I have learned in life the best and most important lesson is that no matter how long it takes me to get to where I want to be or how many times I fail the important thing is to always get back up and keep going.

Don't worry about what everybody else is doing . Focus on yourself, relax and enjoy life.

Worry breeds more worry.

Thoughts and feelings are more important than words and actions.

There is no end (death).

Change is the only constant.

Every single thing in your life is/was chosen.
