10 Life Principles I Have Learned From Experience
The older I get (and that’s happening faster it seems that it once did) the more I’m beginning to assess my life and what the experiences of life have taught me. On my laptop I keep a file where I simply type principles/ideas/nuggets of wisdom as they occur to me. Sometimes these originate as a Twitter post, sometimes they are a line from a Sunday message, but often they just go in this file. I figure when there are 10 of them, it is time for another blog post… (I have written similar posts before, such as HERE)
So, with that explanation, here are 10 life principles I have learned from experience:
- Having wisdom doesn’t mean you made all the right choices…it just means you learned from the choices you made…
- Just because your momma laughs, doesn’t mean it’s funny…
- Never waste an idea…always have something nearby to write it down…
- You can’t ignore one life principle trying to live another…
- This sweater may be old and ugly now, but one day everyone will want one just like it…
- Often one’s perception is determined by his or her experiences…good or bad…
- You can have tons of “friends” until there is trouble in your life…then you’ll have some real friends…
- Big dreams rarely make it past our mind unless someone risks the chance that they could fail…
- The little things we do often have more value than the big things.
- Character is shaped by how we respond to life’s difficulties and life’s victories.
Do any of these apply to your life?
