20 Life Reflections: Universal Truths I’ve Learned ??

20 Life Reflections: Universal Truths I’ve Learned ??

I have been dealing with significant health issues over the past year, consequences of choices I made in the past that didn’t serve me well.

This got me thinking:

Why does life have to be so complicated? Why is it full of paradoxes?

Reflecting on this, I wanted to create a list of life amendments, like a modern-day Moses, to guide people away from misleading ideas and towards better choices.

Here is my list for you:

  1. "It's not about Volume, but Quality" Uncontrolled capitalism, blind consumerism, meaningless sexual partners—we've been fed the lie that “more is better.” But it’s not. Less is better for me. Quality over quantity is key. ??
  2. "It's not about acquiring knowledge, but gaining Experience" You can read all the books and take all the courses, but if you don’t experience things for yourself, you’ll learn very little. As Confucius said, "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand." ??
  3. "It's not about diet, but your Relationship with Food" Focus on understanding and nurturing your relationship with food, rather than following restrictive diets. ??
  4. "It's not about being loved, but Loving Yourself" As Peter Sage shared, "No one can love us more than we love ourselves." We set the limits on how much love we receive. ??
  5. "It's not about you, but Us" This is about unity. We are all connected. What we do affects each other. It’s not about being famous or rich, but about how we can all contribute to a better world. ??
  6. "It's not about time, but Focus" We all have all the time in the world; the difference lies in what we choose to focus on and do with that time. Focus on what truly matters to make the most of each moment. ??
  7. "It's not about what happens, but our Attitude" We can't control everything that happens to or for us, but we can control our attitude towards it. ??
  8. "It's not about dying, but truly living" Many people exist without truly living. Have the courage to express your truth, quit that meaningless job, and embark on that dream trip. ?
  9. "It's not about the destination, but the Journey" Enjoy the journey and the lessons it brings, rather than obsessing over the destination. ??
  10. "It's not about winning, but getting better" Focus on continuous improvement rather than just winning. Growth is the real victory. ??
  11. “It’s not about what you want, but what you need” Understand your true needs versus desires influenced by culture, family, or social media. Universal needs, such as the need to connect, to express our truth, and to grow spiritually, are essential for peace of mind and happiness. ??♂?
  12. "It's not about getting more, but Sharing more" True fulfilment comes from sharing and giving rather than accumulating more. ??
  13. "It's not about not trusting, but not being fooled more than once or twice" As Eleanor Roosevelt said, "If someone betrays you once, it's their fault; if they betray you twice, it's your fault." We all make mistakes, but learn to protect yourself. ??
  14. "It's not about money, but Freedom" Morgan Housel said, "Freedom is having control to do what you want, when you want, with whom you want, for as long as you want." Sometimes, we don’t need as much money as we think to achieve this. ???
  15. "It's not about fear, but Courage" Courage is not the absence of fear, but the strength to move forward despite it. ??
  16. "It's not about your words, but your Actions" Actions speak louder than words. Make sure your actions reflect your true intentions. ?
  17. "It's not about what others do, but doing what's Right" Just because everyone is doing something doesn’t make it right. Stand for what you believe is right. ???
  18. "It's not about resisting, but accepting" Accept reality as it is and explore what you can gain from it and what actions you can take. Resisting reality is what causes suffering. Embrace acceptance for peace and clarity. ???
  19. "It's not about being sure, but flowing with life" Nobody knows everything for sure. Experiment, take risks, and flow with what life throws at you. ??
  20. "It's not about this list, but your own" This is an invitation for you to live your life authentically and create your own list of truths. There's no better time in human history to pursue what you want. Live your truth and share your discoveries. ??

Would love to hear your views about these life amendments.

Which one is your favorite, and do you think we should add any to the list?

Wish you live an extraordinary life! ??

Great list. These are the ones that resonated most with me. #13: "It's not about not trusting, but not being fooled more than once or twice" #14: "Freedom is having control to do what you want, when you want, with whom you want, for as long as you want." #17: "It's not about what others do, but doing what's Right." #18 "Accept reality as it is and explore what you can gain from it and what actions you can take."
