SURPRISING LESSONS WE LEARN ABOUT LIFE AS WE GROW OLDER.

A day comes and you realize a lot of things changed about you, maybe you recall and find out some things you might have done them a different way. You walked all the way through your life to a certain age and you realize that maybe you are older than you need to be. What's this about?
It's about the most significant things you never realized are so important until it was a little bit late, or maybe so you think. It's not always a good thing thing to regret, but how about we start changing things from now?

The things i realized a little late in my life, thanks to the discipline of reading
Today we were looking for a room where we can set up our steemit offices. it was bit a long day, you know an idea that the whole team thinks about and it looks like no one had the time to execute it! Three of us decided to move around our town for the nice locations.

This room was so big
These two friends of mine starting reading nice books some years ago and i thought to myself.
It may not be a coincidence that they are on steemit.
No knowledge is lost
If you can read, read. it's one of those things that people undermine, watching t.v shows and movie series can be entertaining. Books can be a little uncomfortable for the start, but after sometime people look back and realize reading books was the best decision they ever took. Here on steemit i see a lot of readers because i know why. knowledge is a tool that few people posses, i always imagine the edge one would have compared to others if they only read good books.

A good book is a step on a journey to success.

You are exactly where you are supposed to be
Many people are depressed because they think things were supposed to be a certain way. If things fail to work we always wish it was otherwise, it's human to wish all that stuff. If people are better than us we always wish if we possessed some of their skills. Maybe you can't get anything in mathematics but you wish you could be good in calculus or discrete mathematics.

Wishing to be someone else is so a big dissatisfaction in someone's life. With such an attitude things don't always change for the better. It's a self pity we feel for ourselves which causes laziness. I believe everyone can be unique and good at something.
Whenever we feel we aren't good in anything, life has always given us a choice to do whatever thing we want with our lives.
We can always start from where things don't seem right. There is always time because we can't sit and wait for death. Life is more valuable than that.

There is always enough time and courage to move on.
looking back only messes with our necks.

Don't undermine Religion and Politics, They have built nations and destroyed some
Whatever our beliefs are, The influence caused by religion and politics have always been magnified to affect us in almost all ways. It's always an individual's will to involve themselves or not give them much thought but every thing from prices of products to the set up your hometown it wasn't your plan.

We always underestimate time and health until we don't have them

Everyday is a new opportunity, it's always a second chance, cancelling out the previous day, going to gym, asking that girl out , finishing up a project. It always doesn't matter what comes up for as long as we try to make all moments count. Making choices and deciding where we should go, it doesn't matter where it leads us to, because all paths in life are the right paths. there has never been anyone who lived the wrong life. So we should always make our choices with confidence no matter how we may fell about it.

Those days will come when stuff just doesn't seem to connect or make any sense, but for as long as we give value to the most valuable things, we will always be winners.

Switching off the television is okay

It's always fine to sometimes switch off the television, no worries. If the world is ending, someone will come and tell you. We sometimes need time for ourselves,families and friends. Spending sometime travelling, talking and laughing with friends is one of the best things we can give to ourselves. understanding that some news that don't matter can ruin your day in just a minute, Advertisements that make us believe that we need a smart refrigerator in our houses. Disbelief in our abilities because we think most people have achieved more than us. It's sometimes fine to have our own perspective of lives without any help from the media.

It's also totally okay to let some people know you love them

Good people don't always stay around for long enough. The moment we are with them is like the only time we have to let them know how valuable they are to us. Life is built on emotions embracing the most beautiful emotion is a wonderful thing.

Life is a play ground.

There is no much of a destination here, if you don't enjoy what you are doing you have failed already. There is always room to enjoy what you are doing. In life'
Just like dancing, the whole purpose of the dance is dancing, there is no destination in dancing when you can't enjoy it, so is life.

I felt like writing something that i have observed or read and understood for the time i have been able to recognize good content from both friends, books and my own opinions on life.
Thanks for reading.
