50 Years of Lessons Learned

 

In honor of a friend who died recently

(48 years young)

I want to share some very important

Life-Lessons I've learned.

1. You only have one go of it here on earth, so live in the “now”. 

2. Life is over quickly so fight for what matters – your values and beliefs … hopes and dreams … and those you love. 

3. If you make the sacrifice, you will reap the benefits.

4. Procrastination keeps you tied to yesterday. What you do today will determine your tomorrow. 

5. See failure as lesson, and a bridge to success. We all fail at times – it’s the way we grow and learn. 

6. What we do – not what we say – reveals our true character. 

7. Remember to be kind for everyone is fighting their own battle.

Tuesdays with Morrie 01

“There's a big confusion in this country over what we want versus what we need," Morrie said. "You need food, you want a chocolate sundae. You have to be honest with yourself. You don't need the latest sports car, you don't need the biggest house. The truth is, you don't get satisfaction from those things. You know what really gives you satisfaction?...Offering others what you have to give...I don't mean money, Mitch. I mean your time. Your concern. Your storytelling. It's not so hard.”
