Life Lessons

Breathe deeply
Spend time by the ocean
Value yourself
Don't settle for what you don't want
Learn who you are and what you stand for
Be clear on what you want - this requires self-awareness/knowledge
Don't EVER victimize yourself
Action begets action. If you're feeling stuck, MOVE
Live fully (engage yourself)
 
You are never truly sorry until it is over.

I like that.
It is not absolute truth, but true enough to have great value.

I have a saying about how I like to live my life:
To move like an Indian through the woods, leaving no trace of my passing.

Meaning take care.
What you do can never be undone.
 
I am not responsible for all the happenings in relation.
I am not guilty that a person can not see what I see.
I should understand that impulsiveness of people shouldn't be taken so seriously.
I should grow love in me even when I can not share it with someone.
I should not draw intuitive parallel between two people.
I am strong enough to know myself.
 
(Note 20-10-2010: When an ex lover does not love you anymore, but you have a hard time letting go).

Love, real love is unconditional. It is loving no matter what happens, and being ok with that.
It's accepting the way you feel about something or someone without external influence.
By doing so you are accepting yourself (your emotions). Accepting yourself means there is no more need to struggle.
It makes any situation easier to accept.
 
*Bump!*

In my search, I also found these other life lessons threads I thought I'd share since we're on the subject! There are probably a dozen others I didn't get to... Hahaha, there's no doubt this is an INFJ community. :P

the life lesson that i have found most useful and important (for me anyway)
feel with your heart, but think with your head.

i will continue to say this until someone finally kills me because they can't stand it anymore.
