This too shall pass: I remember reading this as a child in my grandfather's notebook. And it had a tremendous impact on me to realise that every problem, difficulty and grief ultimately passes away. Even troubles have self life.
Everything is not about you: We are often unable to understand why others choose to hurt us. But we must understand that their decision may have been taken for other reasons unknown to us and they may have had no intention to hurt or cheat us. This makes forgiving easier.
This is done, now what's next ?: Never hang up your boots. Instead, as one goal you set yourself is over, set your sights on another one. This lesson was taught to me by my mother who on each achievement says "yes good but what's next". It keeps irritating me but this keeps me hungry for more achievements.
This is the time, this is the moment: whatever you put off for the 'right time' never gets done, because there is no right time other than the one right now.
Stay honest, no matter what: Honesty is a shield that is tough to pierce. Take pride in being a person of integrity. Early on, create your own code of ethics and stay honest to your principles. Honesty is indeed the best policy. You will never be left with any regrets.
Choose friends who make you happy, not stress you: There is enough stress in life without taking on friends who add to it. Avoid people who are energy vampires or those who keep sharing their negativities.
Kindness never goes unnoticed or unpaid: Make it your mantra to treat everyone kindly and fairly. Helping others is the only way to help you. All your kindness and large heartedness will revisit you in some other way. Just believe it. If nothing, at least, you live with a clear conscience and peace.
Trust your instinct: You can have no better guide than your own instinct. It comes from a place of greater wisdom and the knowledge you have imbibing all through your life without even realizing it. Quite often your best decisions are those you make instantly.
Fulfill your potential: Ensure yourself to fulfill your potential you are born with and the one you have honed in your growing up years. Make sure to do duty towards your existence and most of your own endowment. Understand your strength and weakness.
Stay balanced through highs and lows: Keep the idea of success even when you feel low. One will always follow the other (the good time and bad time). A life well lived when you stay balanced all through your life.
