What's the best life lesson you've ever had?

Be careful what you look for your worth in. Many people look for their worth in the worldly temporal things on earth. They look for their worth in a boyfriend or girlfriend. In friends, money, how rich they are, fame, how many likes or views they get on social media. How many people like them. The problem is when we do that though, our worth will only be temporal. Our worth will fade quickly. When we loose that friend we were looking for our worth in, we will feel worthless. When we loose our money, we will feel worthless. When we loose our boyfriend or girlfriend we will feel worthless. Instead we should look for our worth in the eternal. That would be God. When he died on the cross for us, that shows us our worth. We are worth more than life to Christ. He will never leave us nor forsaken us, and he is eternal. So when we look for our worth in him, our worth is eternal!! Everything on earth will fade away, we get old, we loose money, friends and fame eventually. If you look at the celebrities they aren't truly happy. They don't truly feel worthy, and have joy. They thought they would, but they don't. Eventually as we get older we see how much we wasted on our lives trying so hard to feel worth something from things that will never make us feel truly worthy. The Lord though will truly make us feel worthy. He never ever fails us. Our value was fixed and our ransom was paid for at the cross! Your Identity is tied to whatever you give your heart to. It REALLY TRULY is

If your happiness depends on the actions of others, you will never be happy.

When I learned that, that’s around the same time I stopped keeping a close eye on the news, because it was just fuel for disappointment and hopelessness

Nobody is holding a gun to God's face and saying "make life be fair"

Were not owed anything, some people do everything right, work hard, get an education and end up homeless with nothing.

Some people are grimey, dumb pieces of shit who cheated everyone, never accomplished anything, don't work hard and end up with everything you could ask for out of one lifetime.

Enjoy the journey. Don't be so fixated on the end result and don't let your ego develop a sense of entitlement that makes you sour when things don't go your way.

That at the end of the day, there are VERY FEW people that care how nice or considerate you are. If you don't deliver results in terms of money and achievements in life, everyone tends to look down on you with condescending eyes and not take your opinions as seriously.

To never trust anyone unless they have did what it takes to earn my trust and it needs long time!

To never give my whole self immediatly becauae they are smiling for me and showering me with their beautiful words, the majority of people these days are oscar nominated actors!

Also life had taught me to never expect something in return when i treat somebody an excellent treatment, such as treating me the same!

Life is like walking between hidden land mines, such as you're living your life happy and everything is good, BOOM! suddenly everything is over, the conclusion is that there is nothing guaranteed in this life, just enjoy the moment because you don't know what the future holds!

Don't make promises you can't keep. I think sometimes we get got up in other peoples timeframes when really we should be just honest about the work load we can handle. They just end up getting frustrated, yet put the shoe on the other foot and all they do is make excuses.

Don’t relay on others to fix your problems for you…

Anonymous · Answer

Do not believe any woman completely when she tells you her ex was abusive towards her. This is something women do with their exs to make themselves seem virtuous and their exs scumbags to cover how ruthless, manipulative and unfaithful they were.

Do not believe women outright who claim rape. Women are 50% or more of the population and can be as equally shitty as any man
