32 Life Lessons From Life
First — Life is always in the Moment
Lessons.. Lessons..Lessons..!
And Teachings ahead.. !
That’s how Life is.. Like quintessential un-wavered spirit adamant to not quit to the eventualities of Life.. Life perhaps is considered as one of the supremely endowed blessings but in order to radiate out the real meaning to Life — is a far more of a roller coaster ride of commotions we delve in.. It’s not like I am painting a scary picture of Life on a canvas or Life being equated to melancholy or Life being tapered to succinct happiness and glory..
In my divine search to the meaning of Life, I just knocked at the doors of lessons it renders.. Eventually, the lessons succumb at the “Footprints Of Life”..
Don’t you feel the same gate-a-way in the walk of Life..? Many-a-times I get embroiled in the web of — “How much more has Life hidden it’s lessons for us”..? “To what extent Life has its borderline of teachings”..?
And with each answer echoes — the art of Life not ever surrendering.. Life you see has its own way of playing hide and seek and giving us all a peekaboo moment of miraculously endless teachings..!
I mean, Life is — it’s just — it’s the constant, it’s the cycle of change.. It’s solution, dissolution, weaving in over and over again.. It’s the growth, then decay leading to transformation.. Isn’t the Life lessons fascinating, really..?
Have you met that Pee -kaa -boos of Life or the sudden ecstatic goosebumps of emotions or the lessons which silhouettes Life a herculean ride to adapt too..?
You might wonder what makes my lessons stand out from the crowd..? And Why would one read through the lines..? Well to answer that part which I may agree to disagree — I may not be a successful Life coach — or one above the cloud of having championed Life — or an Enlightened avatar directing visionary stable approach to Life..!
I am none but one who sailed through the lessons to eventually ink them as “Footprints Of Life” until now and yet to be foreseen under the heavenly..
You can rely on the authenticity of “32 Life Lessons From The Footprints Of Life”.. It can be Life Changing to some extent and can help you dust off storms in Life ahead..
“You cannot pour from an empty vessel”..
- BE KIND AND COMPASSIONATE
Kindness is beauty personified from soul.. Be Kind not only to every other species who breathe and has Life but even to Yourself who deserves to owe their own kindness and care..
2. QUITTING IS LOSING
Never give up on Life no matter how bumpy your road of Life drives you to go crazy.. Just hold onto that moment of “Present”, “Find a reason for survival” do whatever you may but always channelize in the “Never Say Die Attitude”..
3. IN LIFE YOU ARE THE ONLY PATH
You need to survive your own battles to continue travelling the caravan.. You are the only road to discoveries of Your Life.. Hence, be your own path, take the route and start to travel..!
4. BE YOUR OWN GUIDING LIGHT
No one has ever learnt much better than from his own downfalls, rise ups and experiences.. Counting onto your own shortcomings and positives can be in favor when you have yourself as a Guide because no one can understand you better than You Yourself.. Exceptions do include..!
5. BE A FRIEND TO SELF FIRST
How about becoming your own friend..?
Who you can blindly trust onto, who has no if’s, why’s, explanations or expectations but one who listens and understands you from the core.. Think about it.. I have already met.. For details read my Poem “Friend In Shadow”..
6. DEVELOP INTUITIVE CAPABILITIES
Life has taught that when everything seems phony, false and the treading path zooms in to be hay-wired and bizarre then you can trust your intuition to lead your way..
Intuitive Capabilities is like an energy which gives you the best advice in shadowed moments..
7. RELEASE TEARS TO SET FREE
As hunger makes you go painful so does the tears within you make you feel pent up with shrilling emotions, gets you feel heavy, detached and sense void.. Release the emotions to set yourself free from the chains of distress.. You will feel more merry and happier..
8. SELF — WORTH AND SELF — BELIEF
The two powerful tools to make you stand firm to embrace a brighter version of You.. Never stoop down low to people who make you question your status, your worth, your identity or who bog you down or mock you up with the titles, riches etc and filth they muster within to make others feel humiliated and blinded.. Shut your doors to the ones who do not serve you for better..
Believe in Yourself to let the World believe in You and Respect Yourself so that others too feel how worthy and precious are You..!
I have encountered many and I hilariously had a good laugh and then had a moment of silent cry — You can feel weak to yourself sometimes — No harm..!
9. RISE LIKE A PHOENIX
There’s no point in being a hopeless monger — It only has roots affirmed to turmoil..
Life is unpredictable (like our Coronavirus scenario) and to emerge as a rainbow after gusty storms requires an attitude of picking yourself up — again and again — aligning your every bit of fractured designs and rising like a phoenix..!
10. TRUST YOUR ENERGY AND DIVINE TIMINGS
By “Energy” I implicate whichever powerful affirmations you believe in.. Be it Your Almighty, Your cosmic energy of Universe or any other higher power which makes your way to feel enlightened (can be your family — or friends — or life partner) calm and serene..
Trust the divine timings of your Life too because — With Trust comes Grants of Happiness..
11. PEACEFUL MIND IS LIKE AN ENLIGHTENED CHARM
As quoted “A healthy body rests in a healthy mind” hence in order to succeed calming down your impulses can help us gain momentum to see directives of Life in a more mirrored way.. Moreover, it enhances the decision making capability and one can identify between parallels of rights and wrongs..
12. HAVE FAITH IN YOUR GOALS
To add feather to a cap the first step is to pave on the journey of building Faith.. Faith in your desires, Faith in your goals and above all Faith in Yourself to Rise and Shine.. Life has its wonderful way of presenting you with the best if you breathe in Faith — even in times of difficulty one can count on Faith that someday somehow Life will turn it’s tables in your favor — The only principle is “To Have Faith”..!
13. EMBRACE THE PROCESS OF LIFE
Both the upheavals and glories, happiness and sadness all needs to be nurtured in tid bits to feel the beauty in Life..
The journey applauds at the destination when the process of Life evolving is embraced..
I know it’s easy to state but tipsy curvy to implement but one should not forget that only after the storms has passed a cloud has a silver lining..!
14. SOLITUDE IS PEACE
While walking along my way in Life, I first met Loneliness — the very feeling was like taking a U-turn on being friends with it.. Reason being simple — that it’s aura makes you feel sad, mourn and adds grief to your soul leaving behind you feeling of incompleteness.. I was a companion of Loneliness in that way.. Try not to fall in the pitfall of Loneliness..!
Ahead I embraced Solitude.. Solitude is Peace.. Solitude is Completion.. Completion to fully cherish Yourself peacefully.. Solitude is Healthy way of Living Life too..!
Theirs also a fine line between Loneliness and Solitude.. Never hustle through the tug — of — war between them.. Embrace only Solitude to full potential..!
15. ART OF LETTING GO
Keeping it short and simple, “What’s meant to stay will stay, What’s meant to happen will happen”..!
Don’t hold onto anything neither your past nor the grudges or for anyone for long because it’s not going to make your Life serve an incremental fruition.. On the hind side, it will leave you destroyed in pain, agony, and can wither you to an extent where Life seems irresistible to breathe..
Remember, people who value You will accept you completely and will stand affirm by You and With You no matter what..
That’s how “Beautiful souls cast magical spells and hence are rare to find”..
For overly sensitive people like me it’s much more draining for we belong to “I Care Too Much Category” but nevertheless there’s no other way than to remember the lessons, pick yourself up and Let Go..
If I Can then even You too will..!
16. BE THICK SKINNED TO BETRAYALS
Every circumstance in Life is meant to teach you something marooning behind theories to help you evolve graciously and positively but the only and only criterion is — if you are ready to welcome the darker phase of BETRAYALS with open arms..
There’s also a rainbow in everything which is un-returned..!
Hence be thick skinned to betrayals and surrender to the teachings it implicates.. Introspect and evolve..!
17. BE A STRONGER INDIVIDUAL
By Stronger I don’t confine to specify you — To Go get a boost of energy drink to drive your immunity to reflect pumped up muscles and built upon a giant personality..
Not Funny though..!
Although attaining a muscular physique requires great strength and determination so is the art of conquering yourself in becoming a stronger individual.. Once you are inboundly strong none other force from external environment can taper down your spirit and make you bend down on knees to go weak..
At least being strong from within will help you lead your way if not winning the battle..!
And Hold On — Not Every Battle Is Meant To Win..!
18. WHATEVER YOU THINK YOU BECOME
Our thoughts have a very powerful way of shaping up as an individual.. The emotions you feel becomes your thoughts and thoughts mystifies into building character and character builds up making the person “YOU”.. So pay heed to what your mind is thinking about because that is what will shape your future.. As quoted “Good Thought..Good Word..Good Deed”..!
19. IT IS NEVER TOO LATE
The moment you think of quitting on the journey of Life or giving up on achieving success — rest your heart to a belief called “It’s Never Too Late” — It works magic..!
Not everyone has the same journey.. We all are unique individuals travelling our own time frame,, hence each moment of Life counts to make it worthy enough to live.. It’s never too late, not too late to anything being achieved —
The only rule is to “never” give up or quit..!
20. DE-TANGLE ATTACHMENTS
Buddhism quotes “The roots to any suffering is Attachments”.. The belief holds true and I firmly count on it.. Attachment leads to expectations and inculcates a closed door to freedom and free-will..
Although practically it’s a tough exercise to crack the nut of attachments because in Relationships Theories or any other domains enrouting Life — expectations are bound to arise..! What we can mostly sort is to de-tangle Attachments and derive sense of minimalistic approach towards it to lessen it down..
21. NEGLECT THOSE WHO ONCE CARED,, LEAVE YOU AS STRANGER NOW
It’s better to have one honest person in Life rather than flocks of individuals who have a way of walking in and moving out.. It’s even better to not know someone, have conversation and yet feel better about it than to be in the company of those who once cared for you like their “all” and now leave you like “none”..
Count on people, friendships who hold onto you even with the changing times and help you in emerging brighter.. Moreover who don’t judge you and are not part of any entitlements except being true to the bond shared..
22. CONTINUE DREAMING AND WORKING HARD
It is said that “Hardwork never goes in vain”.. True to the core.. The Footprints Of Life only leaves it’s marks if you set up a goal, continue dreaming and establish a visionary approach towards hard work for it to make you fly high..
Dreams keep you alive so start having one if you haven’t..!
Be a reflection of your dreams and keep shining.. You keep learning on your way to your goals..
23. UPLIFT OTHERS
The goal of our journey should not only be restricted to our happiness and satisfy our very own individual contentment..
The real goal is “To Give What You Get”..!
Uplifting Others in the Journey with your knowledge, wisdom, share, care, and abundance of anything which you have is the source of real blessing and joy unbound..
24. IT IS OKAY TO NOT HAVE ANYONE BY YOU
One sometimes feels unlucky to not have anyone standing by them — Its like having abundant people yet feel lonely — and are much like cacophony but are not in sound to your understanding..
In such a scenario, it’s better to resort to self introspection, self — talks and understanding of self to paint a clearer version to the things and draw conclusions..
Also their is no greater joy than having the joy to be in your own keeps..
You are lucky though to have You..!
25. RESPECT YOUR CHOICE AND OPINIONS
Being in gratitude to the choices you make and opinions you believe helps in meeting your holistic self and attain a higher perspective of wisdom and seek knowledge..
Many — a — times one can go flawed with their choices, opinions or beliefs considering we are all humans by nature and bound to make mistakes but cornering yourself in the attic for wrong choices and opinions will do no great wonders..
It’s always better to respect them and evolve meticulously..
26. FIRST DESERVE AND THEN DESIRE
We need to be worthy enough in order to desire..
As for example, In order to have respect one needs to give respect, in order to gain trust one needs to be trustworthy, in order to give happiness one needs to be happy likewise in order to desire anything in Life one first needs to be deserving..! I am learning this on my way..Some may be ahead..Some may be behind..Let’s all come together in the journey to First Deserve and Desire..!
27. ASPIRE TO LEAD
The Footprints Of Life lessons out the song to always move ahead positively.. When you are walking along make your footprints an example to lead, for people to follow.. Every footprint left behind should be an inspirational journey composed of beautiful songs.. One can be flamboyant in incessant aspects, domains, traits and sometimes simplest of the qualities makes the others to follow you.. I believe in aspirations paving the way to positively leading the journey to Lead..!
28. STOP COMPLAINING
Complaining about Life and everything revolutionizing it makes you go dwindle, debilitated and leave you aghast..
I was a serial complainer at some point of my Life probably until yesterday when everything about my Life was in question..? And I was in doldrums thumping to the beats of nowhere..!
So Why do people complain..? Is it because Life is exactly not the way they wished to see — or someone is not the way you wish them to be — or because your job is not the one you always aspired for..? Their are hum drums and chit chatters always surrounding the word complain which seemingly has no end..
You stop complaining — until one day you get tired and shackle yourself at it’s doors..
The best always lies in cherishing your blessings and being content rather than complaining..
29. FREE YOURSELF FROM SELF DOUBTS
When we doubt anything we point out an alarming question to the real authenticity of it’s true existence.. You can doubt any other aspect outside your boundary of Life but Self Doubt has to be chiseled down..
When you develop the feeling of Self Doubt — your journey of Life seems to be at question — your existence seems to be a fallacy — and anything and everything you do becomes meaningless and unworthy if doubt amalgamates its version to self..
Doubts therefore are like ripples grappling You and your environment with negativity..
Hence, free yourself from the clutches of doubts to essence the eternal freedom..
30. BE FEARLESS
As quoted by Swami Vivekananda “ Fear is the greatest Sin” and resting your heads and heart on the shoulder of Fear is like — moulding your Life to grave..
Fear vehemently opposes your growth,, retards your equilibrium in Life and marks you to a path of self destruction.. Infact spending your whole life scared, frightened of things that could happen, might happen, might not happen will drain your energy towards sleepless nights..
To not be fearful of anything or from anyone is like a candle radiating it’s light positively which remains undeterred in spirit..
Remember none can destroy you except your own fears can..!
Say no to fears — be courageous — that’s how heroic Life is meant to be..
You are already taken care off..!
31. TIME — A PRICELESS GIFT
While the lessons teach about nothing being constant and change the only unprecedented revolution.. Having Time as your companion can work wonders if the value addition to it comes from heart and is utilised to the utmost efficiency..
To value Time is like respecting each moment of Life as a priceless possession..!
Give time to dreams, to family, to yourself in order to whisper a sense of belonging to Life..!
32. KEEP SMILING
As quoted “Smiling is the new beginning”.. Every smile which has gone through tears is the most beautiful and it not only beautifies your eternal soul but also your entire surroundings and eventually your Life.. Smile to live through all hardships and happiness of Life.. It always makes your journey go at ease and enriching enough to make you heal..
You can spread a smile now too while reading this article..!
