A lesson I wish I had learned earlier in life ?
Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.
There are many good lessons I was taught when growing up. Most of the lessons are good, and they have shaped who I am today. One of the lessons that I can remind my younger self is giving.
Giving/generosity is a virtue that can be learned at any age. We teach young children to share. This is how they learn to help others when they are in need. When taught consistently, children grow up with this mindset. It is a trait that contributes to our well -being.
Religions and cultures emphasize the virtue of generosity. This is because it is beneficial not only to an individual but also to the community.
For me, reminding my younger self about giving would be beyond monetary acts. The selfless acts that we extend to others without expecting anything in return are the heart of giving. The care, presence, a shoulder to lean on, an ear to really listen, attending, and many more. Starting at a younger age and making this a habit or a lifestyle is a wonderful thing to do.
I will also remind myself to give a little more kindness to ME . To take good care of myself and my mental well-being.
I will remind myself to be happy. Again, I will remind myself to be happy. When I am happy, I will be able to make others happy. This beautiful world will be a better place 💖.
