Live life to the fullest, experience each moment of it
Life teaches us many things irrespective of what we do in different spheres and at different times. We do silly things, and, after the passage of time, we either laugh at them or become serious. But we learn from them. Learning from experience is the best way to cultivate what we like about ourselves.
Experience shapes your habits, priorities, ways in which you interact with people, and even perceptions. We are a sum of our experiences, and hence they are priceless. What you and I are today is because of what we have experienced and how we decided to shape ourselves.
If nurtured, this process of learning from experience can increase progress by repeating what you liked in the past.
Again, we have to think over such occurrences and shape the future. You are able to prioritise your goals, realise your potential, evaluate your experiences, and set targets.
That’s how we learn what we want from life, what makes us enjoy it, and what pushes us towards success. And learning from your experiences means taking all of that and bringing it back into your life.
The only thing required is to devote time to thinking. You will then be amazed at the way you have handled things: The way in which you communicated with someone and the way you finished your workout. Get up early and stick to a rigid diet and work schedule. You will surprised to find your potential and how much there is still to improve.
Once you discover that, there is no turning back.
