Life teaches us a lot of lessons from the day we open our eyes and scream out our first cry till the day we die. Being open to life’s lessons and learning is a quality I like to think I possess. Reflecting back over my life in the past 30 years I think I have learned a few things and here are some of them:
1- Life is tough, but the human spirit is tougher.
2- There is always a silver lining; you just have to look very hard.
3- Finding out who you are is a continuous journey into oneself, and it is the hardest journey one can take.
4- Being directionless is a direction that lets you go places you would have otherwise ignored.
5- Love does exist, and it hits you when you least expect it (thanks cupid!).
6- Being true to yourself and who you are makes you sleep a lot better at night then awaking up to living a life that isn’t yours.
7- The world is a beautiful place waiting to be explored.
8- You can make a difference one person and one step at a time.
9- I am not a superhero and its OK J
10- We are all weird and I love it.
I wonder what you have learned in your life journey? I would love to talk to you about it and share your ideas and thoughts on life, learning and living.

I liked the idea behind the post, and well I would like to share mine about life and such, but taking that I’m in no good shape to come out with any positive thoughts, here’s the best for now:
1) Life is never fair. One has to carve its way in it really hard.
2) What goes around, sometimes doesn’t come around, you either make it, or leave it.
3) I believe that the key to happiness is between our hands. At least most of the time.
4) Letting go is the key for a peaceful living, but that’s something I’ll never learn to do.

Hmmm Jasim I kind of disagree on point 2. It may not come round now or even in this life time but it does… I think yuo have to do what the arabic saying says “DO good and throw it into the sea”. And I think if it is in your nature just do it and be true to yourself…
Number four comes with time… Trust me, I know.

Hey, great idea, I would need a week or so to think this over, but let’s see what I can get together in five minutes:
Deep down we are all entirelly beautifull. But we cary a lot of wounds and scars that hurt and overwhelm our beauty.
1) Almost dying helps appreciating life
2) Life is what I make out of it
3) To give is more fulfilling that to get
4) Being present here and now is what defines the quality of my existence
5) Life is a lonely episode – though communing with other people makes you feel warmer
6) It is more meaningfull to open up and get hurt than to shut down and never get hurt
7) The last question I will ask myself when entering the tunnel will probably be: “Did I love well?”
9) Self-pitying doesn’t help a bit.
10) Hm, I guess 5 minutes are over…

this is a great post…
what i have learned in life…
1. that life is too short(sounds monotonous but it is true),so we need to make the most out it.
2.ive learned that to find the true meaning of everlasting happiness and joy we have surrender our life to God.For God will always gives us comfort,unconventional love and guidance in times of uncertainty.
3.our family,relative and friends add color and meaning to our lives.
4.Ive learned that we should be fear of death(it is a part of life).I read an article before, the author define death as accepting things thats beyond our control and it is just a temporary saying goodbye.But someday we will be reunited again in kingdom of loving God.
5.i noticed that life is not complicated as we thought if we only learned to have satisfaction.
6.never lose hope, keep try and try…
7.to be humble is a good attitude indeed.
8.ive learned in life,learning is a constant thing and life is never ending journey..
9.ive learned that things happen to us for a reason.
