the things I've learnt

Call it wisdom, maturity, observation, experience or just plain nonsense.... but along the rather winding path of life, I’ve discovered many a few things. Here are some:

... a woman’s emotions about something can be totally real, but usually difficult to express, no matter how irrational those emotions might seem on the outside.

... a woman can shed tears for something like irritation, annoyance and frustration, not only anger, disappointment, sadness and joy.

... true love can be very overwhelming.

... someone who is always on time, is almost instinctively conscious of time, whereas someone that is always late, operates on the basis of hope.

... whatever your position in life, you will have some insecurities which you need to work at.

... attitude has nothing to do with the ability to reason, but most people forget that.

... maturity has nothing to do with your age or appearance, but all about your life experiences and the way you’ve handled them.

.... but maturity can also be an attitude thats easy to adopt.

... adopting a sense of maturity is not only good for yourself, but for those close to you as well.

... convincing someone of the truth is a dire task which often works best with no words.

... a woman’s instinct and intuition can be powerful

... when its just you and the silence, there is always something calling upon your soul. Its up to you whether you listen or not.

... trust can be broken in seconds.

... most people are thinkers and very few are doers..

... knowledge is not power until put into action.

... most people are not honest enough for fear of judgement or humiliation and are more concerned about social acceptability.

... not knowing everything about something, can sometimes be better for you.

... at the end of the day we all long for companionship as opposed to being single.

... older people are not necessarily wiser.

... there are always two sides to a story and many people are more biased than they care to admit.

... genuine friends are rare.

... its possible for someone to love you so much that they’d do anything for you. Go to the ends of the earth for you, so to speak.

... imagining yourself in someone else’s shoes is a sure way of empathising with them.

... true joy in life only comes when your focus is off yourself completely and you give of yourself to others.

... many people dont know the true meaning of moving the focus off themselves.

... a lack of imaan(faith), can lead to a corrupted mind.

... we’re all entrenched into societal behaviours so far from the blatant truth, we’re practically brain-washed.

... a sense of purpose in life is vital, but theres no sense in it without having a lack of purpose as well.

... moderation is the key to everything.

... being thrown into the deep end is sometimes the only way to get past your fears and achieve new heights.

... sometimes you just need to let go.

... we often push the most important things aside, because of our petty priorities.

... the perceptions you have of people can change drastically within a day.

... emotions can be deep-rooted and can determine your personality.

... wars are as much a part of the current world as it was in the past and Il never quite understand why.

... adults need to be cognisant of how perceptive and intuitive kids are. Their brains are still sponges.

... there are many great opportunities we miss in life, because we’re either afraid of change or not keen on taking risks.

... theres so much beauty in this world that we dont see, because we’re too caught up in our own busy lives.

... special moments are there. fleetingly here, then gone, but we hardly take the time to appreciate them, even when see them.

... its good to read between the lines.

... theres always grey between black and white.

And theres so much in this world, not yet discovered, that will blow our minds away.

Theres many more to come as the journey continues.
Il be back to share.
