Life Lessons

One of the hardest things about improving your life is remembering to practice what you’ve learnt in a moment of temptation, frustration or hardships. Anyone can follow a strategy as they read about, but remembering to stick with it in the real world is tough. All through in life we experience various occasions when decision making becomes necessary, a number of them present themselves in different forms and at crucial points the decisions we make sometimes are perfect but at times they are hasty, these are what we refer to as lessons of life.

 Choices never present themselves in an easy way, in some instances we are always forced to pay a price to achieve something. Life is like a teacher it teaches us something in every single moment of time. We should learn from the past and not regret about the mistakes we have done.

As I write this an anecdote comes to my mind- A few years back I had fractured my hip, from dancing. This meant bed rest for about a month, after recovery my flexibility drastically decreased. A few simple positions were hard. I still had a passion for dance, so I continued. at first, it was hard and in a few months my flexibility was better, I still remember how I used to curse my leg daily regretting things I could not do. I knew I could not change anything, so that’s when I learnt “adaptation”. The only solution was to adapt to the surrounding and not whine but to be happy with what we have.

After I went out of my comfort zone and when I witnessed the real world I understood there was so much more to learn in life. And it was then I learned the most important lesson- the lessons which can only be learnt better if experienced.
