The most common similarity between every human is realizing things when it’s too late. In this article, we are going to read about 7 things that people Learn Too Late. These things will make you understand the places you were wrong. It might feel that you were wrong or immature. It should be noted that it was just a part of growing up. The aspect of life where you discover yourself is not wrong; however, it certainly feels like a late realization.
7 things that People Learn Too Late:
Everything is Temporary
Humans do tend to keep things and people to themselves. To feel that this bond or fondness is permanent is a feeling that makes us feel safe and sound. Although, is that how it always goes? We meet people, we connect, and we do not expect that to break. The sheer thought of losing people indeed makes us feel vulnerable. But, as we grow up and look back we realize we have lost a lot of bonds. It is not always that the other person leaves you, just think about the number of people you have left for your own sake. There is nothing wrong with stepping out of a place where you don’t grow; it is a good decision for the self.
You Get Treated the Way You Treat Yourself
Have you ever wondered why some people get treated very carefully and lovingly? It is because they treat themselves the same way. If you do not take good care of yourself, no one is going to do that for you. Growing up, we always want someone else to take care of us and pay attention to how we are. While, in the process of growing up you would realize that the only time someone else treats you right, is the time when they are well enough to pay attention and they do it to their limits. So, would you just wait for someone to take care of you or would you do it yourself?
Biggest Risk is Not Taking Any Risk
Lack of motivation does not come from the outside. It comes from the inside. You convince yourself that you will not be able to do it. You are better off in your comfort zone and so on. What would be best, if we just take one step ahead without thinking about the consequence, right? You need to keep walking or else you will be the only one standing stationary while others will be out of sight. Even if you lose, at least you tried and you need to keep trying. Because as we all know, it is not the destination but the journey that makes life fruitful.
Happiness Requires Hard Work
Have you ever felt like you know you need to take care of yourself but you just don’t know how to? Happiness requires hard work. IF you believe that going out with a friend will make you happy, you are not entirely wrong. But true happiness comes from within. It is the knowledge about the self, what you are doing and how good is it for your future, having a goal and realizing that you are working for it, doing small things every day and being proud of yourself – this is what true happiness feels like and it certainly takes a lot to find this happiness but trust me if you are trying you are almost there.
Lifetime is Not Long Enough
Life is not about leisure. Life has a purpose. If you are a student, your purpose is to study. You often delay tasks thinking that you will do it tomorrow and you end up doing it after a week. Do you know why it happens? Because every time you have a plan B, just know that your plan A will not work. It is the fear in you that you would not be able to focus or study that scares you to study at all. But, just take a moment and think about the future you will have if you don’t waste every day doing anything but focusing on distractions.
Beneath Anger Lies Fear
How many times have you felt extremely angry with a person? More than a lot, right? But, have you introspected why or what is the thing that made you mad? If you do, you would realize it was not the person but it was your inner fear that made you burst out in the person in front of you. To put it briefly, if you ever lose something significant like a certificate and you get mad at your mum. Are you mad at your mum or is it fear of losing the certificate? This realization comes with maturity because when you grow up you become responsible for your things, your people, and yourself.
Life is Not Fair
I know you have heard this enough and more. But, you certainly have realized this late. We often tend to use this statement when we do not have any hope or we face failure. And, that is how it should go. Use the sentence and then keep trying or move on from it. We do want and need several things but we do not get them all the time. But does that mean you will never get it? It is your effort that matters.
