There are so many lessons I wish I had learned while I was young enough to appreciate and apply them. Wisdom and life lessons are learned in retrospect, long after we needed them. The good news is that other people can benefit from our experiences and the lessons we’ve learned.
1. Money Will Never Solve Your Real Problems. Money is a tool that buys your needs and some nice “wants” but it is not the elixir to your problems.
Many people are living on very little and happy lives and there are great people living on quite a lot, yet have miserable lives.

2. Pace Yourself. Often when we’re young, just beginning our adult journey we feel as though we have to do everything at once. Slow down—don’t rush into things. Let your life unfold. Wait a bit to see where it takes you, and take time to weigh your options.
3. You Can’t Please Everyone. You don’t need everyone to agree with you or even like you. It’s human nature to want to belong, to be liked, respected and valued, but not at the expense of your integrity and happiness. Other people cannot give you the validation you seek.
4. Your Health Is Your Most Valuable Asset. Health is an invaluable treasure—always appreciate, nurture, and protect it. Good health is often wasted on the young before they have a chance to appreciate it for what it’s worth.
5. You Don’t Always Get What You Want. “Life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans.” – John Lennon
No matter how carefully you plan and how hard you work, sometimes things just don’t work out the way you want them to… and that’s okay.

6. It’s Not All About You. You are not the epicenter of the universe. It’s very difficult to view the world from a perspective outside of your own, since we are always so focused on what’s happening in our own lives.
7. There’s No Shame in Not Knowing. No one has it all figured out. Nobody has all the answers. There’s no shame in saying “I don’t know.” Pretending to be perfect doesn’t make you perfect. It just makes you neurotic to keep up the pretense of manufactured perfection.
8. Love Is More Than a Feeling; It’s a choice. That burst of initial exhilaration, pulse-quickening love, and passion does not last long. But that doesn’t mean long-lasting love is not possible.
Love is not just a feeling; it’s a choice that you make every day.

9. Perspective Is a Beautiful Thing. Typically, when we’re worried or upset, it’s because we’ve lost perspective. Everything that is happening in our lives seems so big, so important, so do or die, but in the grand picture, this single hiccup often means next to nothing.
10. Don’t Take Anything for Granted. We often don’t appreciate what we have until it’s gone: that includes health, family and friends, job, the money you have, or think you will have tomorrow.
Nothing in your life is guaranteed to be there tomorrow, including those you love.
