When you were born you were crying and everyone else was smiling. Live your life so at the end, your're the one who is smiling and everyone else is crying. Life as as you call it, is a gift from GOD. But most of us don't even open the gift box to see what is really inside the box. Here I will try to sum up some life lessons which I learned in the journey of my life. I am still learning, growing everyday, but what good is a lesson if you don't teach it to other people.
Life is hard, accept it: When you accept the fact that everything in life happens for a reason. And if we don't accept that reason, lesson repeat itself until we learn something from it. The point is, never to be discouraged by anything that life throws at you. For a moment you might not realize it, but soon you will be thankful for the lesson.
Family comes first: I have talked with thousands of billionaires and asked when what regrets they have. And to my supersize it was that they didn't spend enough time with their families. Sure work will fill a larger part of your life, but keep in mind that your family needs more of your attention. Take out some time from your routine and spend time with your family.
Trust GOD: I don't know about you, but from my personal experience I can say that magic happens when you trust GOD and do things anyway. Your internal compass is one of the best indicators of right and wrong. Do your part and let GOD do the rest.
Love thyself: What other people think of you is not important. But what you think of yourself can change the course of your life. Mistakes happen, people leave, and you might get fired from your job. But these are just temporary outbreaks that are there to make you strong. Despite the odds, look into yourself in the mirror everyday and say 'I love you' trust me, this will change your life for sure.
Choose your friends wisely: Not everyone is your friend. And you have to be very specific on who you call your friend. There is no rule of thumb to gauge your friend but what you can do is trust you guts. If you feel secure and proud or like the company of someone, be sincere to them. And see how the react. True friends will reply with humbleness, while others will take advantage of you.
