My favorite part of the entry is about the unexpected lessons you can learn from something less than pleasant. I'm not really in the place to start such a list right now, but I think it is a fantastic idea for the future. Not only will this list help me reflect on how much I was actually able to learn and gain from this struggle but perhaps it will aid someone else who may stumble upon my blog.
Here are the 15 unexpected lessons:
- Don’t ignore warning signals in your body. Frequent petty colds, stomach aches, and headaches may all be a sign of stress.
- There is no need to be strong all the time, and even less of a need to maintain an image of strength in front of others.
- Achievements and titles mean nothing if they’re not something you’re passionate about.
- Creativity is therapeutic, and it’s in everyone, just sometimes suppressed.
- We need to matter the most to ourselves—over any job promotion, meeting, excel spreadsheet.
- Not replying to emails immediately is not the end of the world.
- We all need spare time for ourselves—time for solitude and reflection.
- It doesn’t matter what everybody else thinks, if we know in our hearts something isn’t right.
- Most petty worries aren’t serious. So save some energy.
- Everything will be okay in time.
- Health is the most important thing in the world.
- Sometimes it’s best to stop doing so many things, and instead spend more time enjoying what we have.
- There is no point in being afraid of the uncertainty because it doesn’t change that the future is uncertain. Leap.
- We don’t have to worry about being a disappointment to anyone, because we do not need to live according to anyone else’s expectations of us.
- We will all hurt. Embrace the pain, and know that suffering is a choice.
