Re: Wisdom You Have Discovered For Yourself

My my, there are a lot of depressing tidbits of advice here. So here I go with another one: you really only have yourself to rely on at the end of the day. But I'll turn that frown upside down: that's why you need to love yourself, and take care of yourself, and give yourself some slack! Treat yourself like you would someone who took full-time care of you: with love, and respect, and kindness.

Other hard won bits of life wisdom: when you're dealing with other people, whether it's personal or business, write down compliments and praise, but talk problems out in person or on the phone. You want people to forget the harsh blow of your criticism, but be able to keep your praise forever.

My mum used to tell me this when I was younger, but I found it made more and more sense as I got older: don't be afraid to approach or talk to other people - if they're not talking to you, it's far more likely that they're just as nervous as you are about starting a conversation than it is that they just don't like you.

Oh, and here's the biggie: Take responsibility for your actions. Don't blame other people for things you have done or the way your life is. You can acknowledge the influence other people have had on your life, but in the end you need to own every single step you have taken to get you to where you are now, because if you don't do that how are you ever going to control your journey to where you want to go? No excuses, just do it. You'll be a better person in the long run.
