Life Advice That You Wish You Knew Earlier

Lets all educate one another!

I would say to not rush things and let things be. Do not overcomplicate life and problems. Problems are a small part of life, think about the greater picture and appreciate the little things in life! For example, the fact that your mum wakes you up and makes you breakfast, or the fact you get clean water when the world is suffering with a humanity crisis.

Hi there.

I'd say don't compare yourself with others. Instead focus on your personal development and journey in life.

Best wishes.

Be yourself- I was always trying to fit into different groups and changing up who I am for them. I realised there will be people out there who will like you for who you are

awwwww!!! I felt this!
I tend to keep myself to myself and lock myself out into a shell, not sure if this is a good/bad thing?

100%!!! Beautifully said! Any personal stories or experiences you would like to share?

Comfort is a cage. Explore new things

Thank you. More advice, sorry! I'd say believe in yourself and don't give up on your dreams/goals.

I had to do resits for medicine but ended up being successful in achieving my goal of getting into med school. Comparing myself to others, saying I wasn't smart enough to, didn't help with confidence so it's why I said believe in yourself.

Also great thread idea! Don't feel bad for keeping yourself to yourself if it's what you feel comfortable doing.

I've come to a conclusion that people/humans are a bunch of drama.
Therefore, I will not be focusing on people hahah! Only the few people I have in my life.

What are you interested in?

I am learning Arabic tbh!
I am interested in Accounting/Finance/Economics and learning about how to deal with life/people/personalities. I think therefore I like learning more about Psychology and other peoples behaviours.

Vocational qualifications have more currency on the jobs market in the majority of cases than non vocational degrees, this includes law degrees when the degree holder decides they don't want to do law as a career and is exploring other avenues of employment. May as well be walking around with 'overqualified' tattooed on my forehead. Don't know why it should matter when I need money to pay rent and buy food.

1) Always trust your gut instinct and listen to what your common sense is telling you.

2) You can make excuses or you can make progress. Your choice.

3) Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

4) The key to being happy is knowing that you have the power to choose what to accept and what to let go.

5) Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

6) Life is too short to waste valuable time and emotion on those that don't deserve any of either.

7) Karma remembers everyone and all karmic overdrafts will be repaid in full, the only question is when.

8) Don't waste precious time on powerful destructive and corrosive emotions like envy, hate or rage- they can easily turn into obsessions that will ruin your mindset & take over your life.

9) There are too many people who imagine that there is something sophisticated about always believing the best of those who hate their country and the worst of those who defend it.

10) The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

You don't even need to do law as degree to become a lawyer. In fact, it is better (subjective) to just do a degree that you love even more and then do a law conversion.

This is amazing piece of advice! I will be taking note of this! Is this from your personal experience?
