Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.

There’s so many things I could write here, but I’m gonna try and keep it very simple this time. I’m gonna talk about the greatest lesson. I wish I taught myself in my youth. This lesson was to have a love for and belief in myself.
I had such a doubt on myself in my younger years, and as a result, I picked terrible partners, lovers, friends, and my career.
I was convinced I had to settle for whatever I can get rather than choose and discriminate my tastes.
I don’t do that anymore. I have boundaries, love for myself, self-respect, and I have a career, I love now. Also I have self-love and self-respect and dignity that I’ve never had before. I had to build it work at cultivate it from nothing.
The only regret was that it took me to age 50 to finally figure it out. But I guess that’s part of life’s rich pageant. We have to learn our lessons the hardest way possible and repeat them over and over until we master them.
Remember no matter what just keep going I tell myself that many many times when I’m not sure what’s gonna happen next.
As always, thank you for reading…

It seems that life is funny in that we learn but have to learn again. Life is a journey of bad mistakes that hopefully we recognize and correct as we go. Great post Anthony.

It’s a tough lesson to learn, but an important one. I’m right there with you in not learning it until I was older. The important is leave the regret behind the and enjoy life now and in the future.
