Life's important lessons

Funny how things change in a matter of minutes... Every new experience brings with it a new perspective, a new challenge, a new lesson. I have learned so much in the last year, achieved a lot and am looking forward to my year ahead with excitement.

Change is constant and not always for the good, but it's going to happen, whether we like it or not. So, why do people resist change so much? Easier said than done, "going with the flow" can actually earn you respect, as I've come to learn in the past year. Try it, it can be hard at times, but the rewards are plentiful. Resistance only brings false expectations and with that comes disappointment.

Stick to your guns, especially under pressure. Don't be a coward and lie and be deceitful. Tell the truth, be honest. You'll feel better, and who knows, earn the respect of those around you!

Gossip is the worst enemy of mankind. If people would spend half the time they spend gossiping on worthwhile things like helping others, developing their skills and so on, the world would be a better place. What satisfaction does gossip bring you? A paltry 5 min glory? Repeating something that you don't know for sure yourself is like injecting poison into someone's veins because a passerby told you to do so. Would you do it? No? Then don't repeat untruths.

that's all the words of wisdom I have at this time :) Here's to a great year ahead with lots of new expetiences and lessons learned!
