9 Lessons in Life People Learn TOO LATE

Before the year ends, what's an important lesson you learned?

The biggest lesson I learned is that we need to be the parent we never had.

1. you will never be younger than you are now 0:45 2. life isn't a safe predictable formula 1:25 3. you can't have it all 2:04 4. despite your expectations nothing is ever as good or bad as you think 2:47 5. the most important relationship is one with yourself 3:28 6. everyone has emotions and is a person just like you 4:05 7. trust pays off 4:49 8. social media affects your mental health 5:18 9. retirement shouldn't be your goal 6:11

I am 64. What I would tell my young self: 1. Do not commit to anything you don't want in your life for 50 years, even for a day; everything we do/think/say builds the next day. 2. When you do what you love, it will never seem like work. I am finally doing today what I love, and my only regret is that I didn't start 50 years ago.

1 . You are not the main character of everyone's life 2 . It's okay if you don't get everyone's attention 3 . To achieve something you have to go Out of your comfort zone 4 . Don't expect from people even if they are close to you 5 . Stay cool 6 . Be your own inspiration not any others 7 . Stop chasing others and know your worth 8 . Accept yourself as who you are and build yourself and your personality 9 . Work hard to live your own ideal life in future

Here's three quotes I've heard this year that I've been using to help keep me going. 1) 5 by 5 rule - if it's not gonna matter in 5 years, don't spend more than 5 minutes upset by it 2) No amount of guilt can change the past, and no amount of anxiety can change the future 3) Iron can only be destroyed by its own rust, likewise you can only be destroyed by your own mindset

These are the main lessons I learned this year. 1. You can't dedicate your life to other people. Whether it be family, friends, or associates, you can't put yourself on the back burner in favor of everyone else. It's not beneficial towards your physical, mental, and emotional health. 2. No matter the friendship/relationship, it can't be one-sided. You can't carry it all by yourself while the other party does nothing to maintain it. Again, not beneficial or fulfilling towards you...and sooner or later, you'll grow resentful towards the other party for not treating you the way you deserve to be treated. And you DO deserve to be treated well. 3. You can do everything right in a situation and it still not work out. That's just how life can be sometimes, and it's not a negative reflection on you. It just is what it is. 4. You should never turn your back on your dreams or passions. Not only are they a creative outlet for you but provide a certain level of personal fulfillment, enlightenment, and happiness that you need in your life. Your passions are expression, and being able to express yourself is apart of what makes us who we are. And it makes us more well-rounded and content individuals. And that always matters. 5. Try. No matter what, just keep trying. Even if you fall, falter, lose, or just get lost in it all...just keep trying. Don't be afraid to go through the motions to stumble, express your emotions, take a breather, regroup, pick yourself back up, learn, and keep going. It isn't our failures that destroy us, it's us giving up on ourselves that does.

2 quotes that have helped me 1- "Forever is forever, but sometimes to get that you need to say goodbye" 2- "If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present"

0:45 #1 - You'll never be younger than you are now 1:25 #2 - Life isn't a Safe Predictable Formula 2:03 #3 - You can't have it all. (What you can handle and what you cannot) 2:47 #4 - Despite your expectations, nothing is as good or as bad as you think. 3:27 #5 - The most important relationship is the one with yourself. 4:04 #6 - Everyone has emotions and is a person just like you. 4:48 #7 - Trust pays off. 5:17 #8 - Social Media affect your mental health. 6:11 #9 - Retirement shouldn't be your goal.

Here’s a couple I’ve picked up along the way: 1. Don’t expect, assume or anticipate. 2. Experience is not universal. 3. B student stands for Balance. 4. You’re exactly where you have worked to be. 5. Resentment destroys you and not the other person. 6. Humility is power. 7. Entertain your mind or your mind will entertain you. 8. Someone has been through what you’re going through. 9. The best of us will let you down. 10. Don’t talk about what you’re going to do, talk about what you did.

The biggest lesson I learned so late in life is that we can be happy from day one, if you can control your mind you can control your emotions and happiness, I reached that point with meditation, when you find the meditation that works for you you unlock the doors to a different life.

Some things i've learned in life is : -Dont listen to what others say. People will always judge you no matter what. You should always do what makes YOU happy. -always be YOU. You shouldn't be someone you aren't. -be grateful for what you have. Btw, this video helped me so much. I'm still in school and theres a lot i still need to learn.

Thank you so much for this. I am 74 years old and these are the kinds of things I wish I had known decades ago -- especially about intimate relationships and work. I eventually learned most of them -- the hard way! I hope lots of the younger people watching this will recognize the wisdom being given to them.

I’m 75 now. There is such a thing as “too late” - for many things I wish I had done or not done when I was young, it really is too late now. So, the question I face now is, what things can I realistically do now that will make a positive difference for me in the time I have left.

Other truths: 1. Life isn't fair. 2. Love is not enough. 3. If you lose someone, then that loss stays with you. So, you have to make yourself bigger around the loss. 4. Treat others how you want to be treated.

Some of the lessons I've learned: 1) It's your choice what to do about your situation. 2) Change is from the inside out. 3) Success is leaving the world a better place than you entered it. 4) Armor keeps away swords, but it also keeps away snuggles. 5) People are horrible, people are amazing. might add more later idk :P

Something I learned is to not regret things too much, while regret can teach us things about ourselves, theres no point holding on to it. Make up for it, or do it in the future, or just move on. No matter how hard it is to let go of regret, it is essential. it can also help to talk or not talk about it, stay posotive!

Being friends with an honest person is better than being with a yes men/woman.

After being at rock bottom in life for almost the whole year, I realized that no matter how hopeless things are or how bad you might feel about yourself because of it, just keep going anyway. Even if it feels like it’s pointless. Things might turn around for the better, maybe they won’t. And if they don’t, just keep trying your best to move forward in any way you can, even if you’re taking really tiny steps to get there.

Looking back on the worst experiences of my life, I think what made them so awful wasn’t what happened, but what the people close to me did or didn’t do to make it happen. Social distancing has been a weird blessing for me because it’s shown me which people in my life actually care about me and which ones were just pretending.
