10 lessons

Everyone likes to look at the changing of the calendar as a time to make some greater changes in their life.

A friend of mine posted this on Facebook, and I thought it was a good list about not just life lessons, but if you really want to make some change in your life, pick just one of these and see how accepting it in your own life could make you better.

While I put a summary of the 10 lessons below (for my own posterity, should the linked-to site ever go away), you really should read the whole thing to understand where it’s coming from.

1. Your thoughts create your reality.
2. You will regret the chances you didn’t take.
3. Change is the only constant thing in life.
4. What you resist persists.
5. You judge others for the deficiencies you haven’t yet accepted in yourself.
6. You have far less control over the behavior of others than you think.
7. You are what’s on the inside.
8. You can’t force love in relationships.
9. Sometimes the only healthy option is to move on.
10. Life as you know it doesn’t last forever.

For that matter, check out their whole website. It’s got a lot of good food for thought.
