7 more lessons people often learn to late in life (a little toolkit for life)

  1. Significance of Taking Risks:                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Taking calculated risks can lead to growth, new opportunities and exciting experiences while the fear of failure can often hold us back.                     Playing it safe might initially seem comfortable, but it often limits growth, opportunities and and often leads to regret later in life                                  Taking calculated risks, whether in your career, relationships or personal life, can lead to new experiences and successes. Embracing uncertainty and stepping out of your comfort zone can be crucial for achieving your goals.                                                                                                                                                                                                
  2.

Knowing and enforcing your personal boundaries is crucial for mental health and maintaining healthy relationships. Boundaries help protect your time, energy, and emotional well-being.                                      Learning to say no and to communicate your limits effectively both in social and professional settings  can help prevent burnout, resentment and ensure that your values and time are respected.                                                                                                                                                                                                            
  3. Value of Pursuing Passions:                                                                                                                                                                                                              Following your passions and interests often leads to a more fulfilling and happy life.: Chasing after what’s important to you, excites and inspires you generally leads to a more fulfilling life than merely following conventional paths or societal expectations. Pursuing your passions brings joy, motivation, and a sense of purpose, making your journey through life more enjoyable and meaningful and in the end living with less regrets                                                                       
  4. Power of Giving:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Giving to others, whether its time, money or support can be deeply rewarding and enrich your own life and can have a profound impact on your own sense of fulfillment and happiness. I often find that by acting kind. supportive and generous not only does it benefit the recipients but also enrich my own life  with a sense of purpose and connection.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
  5. Embracing Change:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Nothing ever stays the same and life is full of twists and changes and learning to adapt with an open mind can lead to more fulfillment.                            As change is a constant part of life, denial and resisting it often just leads to frustration and stagnation.                                                                            Learning to adapt to new circumstances with a positive attitude can open up new opportunities personal growth. Accepting and embracing change rather than fearing and resisting it makes transitions smoother and more rewarding.                                                                                                                                                
  6. The Limits of Perfection:                                                                                                                                                                                                                           What does perfection mean to you ?                                                                                                                                                                                                  Striving for perfection is paralyzing and counterproductive,  instead aim for constant progress. Aiming for even just 1% of progress  every day rather than perfection allows for more fulfillment and continuous growth . Accepting that mistakes and imperfections are part of the process reduces stress and help you move forward more effectively long term.

Education is not just about your formal schooling or what school you went to or what grades you had.
