Inspiration: Life Lessons I've Learned Along the Way So Far

Author: Jeff Herring

Some people live in and talk about the past so often it's as if they are planning for the past.
The "I'm an adult victim/survivor of (fill in the blank)" culture that we live in does a great disservice to the possibility of change. There comes a time when you have to give up the identity of victim/survivor and decide who you will be now and in the future
Here are five emotional states that can change your life when you respond to them properly: disgust, commitment, desire, decision, and resolve.
Some people confuse foolish stubbornness with determination.
Would you hire a plumber or a carpenter who had only one tool in the toolbox? Of course not. Yet we often approach life situations with an equally limited supply of tools. It was Abraham Maslow who said "If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail."
Sometimes I think God got it backwards. So much would be different if we could be parents before we were children.
Parenting is like playing golf, eating with chopsticks, or driving a manual shift car. It looks so easy until you try it.
Be careful of hindsight. While it may be 20/20, what might have been is not necessarily what would have been.
There is no such thing as a no-fault divorce.
If the two most common phobias are flying and public speaking, I wonder what would happen if you had to give a speech on a crowded plane?
