It is sad to think that it has taken so many years to finally come to terms with life. I recently saw a sign that said "Be kind because everyone is fighting a battle." I pondered over this simple sentence for a long time. At first you think sure, whatever.
What kind of battle does a person living in a beautiful house, driving a luxury car, or travelling etc, have?
My battle is depression/PTSD. My battle is understanding what happiness is. My battle is body image.
EVERYONE IS FIGHTING A BATTLE. Life is not easy. Somedays life sucks. You have to have faith that everything is going to work out and it will!!!!
Another quote that I really spent some time thinking about is from the Dalai Lama
How true is this? How many people do you know who do this?

What a great post idea. I did a Pearls of Wisdom post which is sorta of the same thing. http://cleaneatsfastfeets.com/2015/01/12/pearls-wisdom/. It's actually one of my favorite ones.
ReplyDeleteAlways chocolate.
Thanks, I will check it out.
DeleteThis is perfect! A great way to start the week. I love your list. I think I would add intuition. Somehow we all have "feelings" and trusting them can pay off big time!
