Blog Entry #8: Lessons In Life..

I've think of the things that life taught me in my 17 years of living. And i want to share this to all that will read this blog. Maybe these things happened to you already. We can't go back to the beginning but we can start where we are and change the ending.  We can't go back to the time where we've done failures or wrong decisions but we can face the future with confidence that we will not do the wrong decisions that we've done on our past. Life gives us so many lessons to test our ability to face that problems and teach us lessons that can help us to be a better person. Life doesn't want us to give up easily in the problems, life wants us to be more patient, understanding and life wants us to look at the problems as challenges that will teach us a lot in life, not a struggle that will destroy ourselves.
Things I've learned in my life(so far):
1. If you love yourself, chances are others will love you also.
      It's all about self-love and it all starts with self love. If you don't love yourself, how could you 
      expect someone to love you? Love yourself and others will love you also.
2. If you don't believe in yourself, nobody will.
      "Don't expect others to see gold where you can only see dust" People will treat you based on what you think about yourself and how you behave and act in the world.
3. You are unique, not perfect.
       everyone is unique without any exception. We should stop striving to be perfect let's just accept
       who we are, God made us unique not perfect. 
4. Happiness has no price.
        I believe that happiness don't found in material things. So if you are seeking for a good life, you 
       should let go of your attachments in material things. Happiness can found in simple things such           as doing what you love.
5. Be Ambitious.
         Dreaming big is what I'm always doing. There's nothing you can't accomplish if you're willing
         to put work in it.
6. Build your dreams, not someone else's.
        I know some successful persons, but others are miserable. Yes, they achieve what others                     considered as success but they haven't done what they have really want to do. Maybe their 
        parents pushed them to do it but the point is they're not doing what they wanted to do.
7. Accept changes.
        It helps us grow, even when it hurts.
8. You can't be friends with everyone.
        Even though you want or try to be that social butterfly, you will always have people who
        don't like you.
9. Appreciate the little things.
       Always be appreciative, sometimes smaller acts speak louder words than you think 
       they do. Be in the moment and appreciate it.
10. Be kind, always.
       Do anything that proves, in your own little mind, that you are somehow superior to everyone
      elses around you.
11. Don't compare yourself or try to be someone else.
       There's always someone out there whose more beautiful, richer, has a perfect relationship,
       or has a flatter stomach or has fairer skin. Comparing yourself to others is a game that you'll               never win.
12. Don't be afraid of rejection.
        Rejection is a part of your life. "A door may slammed in your face now, but your 
       courageous efforts will be later rewarded with an open window"
