Your life is the physical journey while your lifetime is your spiritual journey. Often, it’s only once you go through the physical journey that life is completed when the lifetime is still left. And that’s why many people learn the truth of life too late. Here are 10 life lessons people realize too late.
People Leave When They Can’t Benefit From You Anymore
In the not-so-distant past, I had a hard time understanding why some of my friends and family members took their leave. You see, I used to believe that people would be more than happy to stick around, especially if you made an effort for them. What I didn’t realize was that people leave whenever they can’t extract any more benefits or find any more use in staying with you. In plain and simple terms, most people are not in our lives for the long haul. They just come and go when it suits them. I just wish I had learned about this sooner. Once you have learned your lesson when it comes to the kind of people you want and don’t want around you, be vigilant the next time you meet someone new. You have to be able to gauge an estranged relative or friend from a real and true one. Keep in mind, though, that anyone, no matter how kind, can only take so much abuse before moving on with their lives. Being friends costs nothing, but staying loyal and invested does.
Success Comes When You're Okay With Failing In Front Of Others
I recently saw a quote that said, "The road to success is lined with many tempting parking spots." This makes so much sense because when asked what they're least looking forward to, most people say failure: failure to meet the expectations of others, failure to apply the knowledge they learned in college, or being constantly told no. We have always heard that "failing is part of the journey" and other quotes, but who really wants to fail? It starts out very small. That little dribble of sweat is barely even noticed, but over time, it grows into this large waterfall that is fear: fear of falling and failing. Because of our fear of failing, it causes us not to chase our wildest dreams and passions. And it's a reality that teaches in a way a book never could.
No Response Is A Response
Sometimes, silence is all the answer you need. When someone chooses not to reply, it's still a response. It may not be the one you expected, but it's clear. Over time, you realize that no response often means they don’t care enough to engage, and that’s something we don’t always see right away.
You can keep reaching out, waiting for a reply that might never come, or you can accept the silence for what it is a message on its own. It’s a tough lesson, but it teaches you to value your time and energy. Some people just aren’t meant to stay, and their silence shows that.
Losing Yourself Is Easier Than You Think
You think you're just being practical or empathetic, but you're mistaking those admirable qualities for an evasion tactic. Sometimes, you'll get so caught up in making sure everyone else is doing okay that you'll forget to check up on yourself. It's hard to bounce back from that—although entirely possible—because you won't even notice it happening. It'll be a cold sweat that's trickled off your face without you noticing. That's okay. It's not great, but it's also okay. Humans are complex creatures that aren't privy to every single intricacy. Take care of yourself, even when you're not burning the candle at both ends.
Not Every Question Has An Answer
I remember being a young teenager full of confusion, curiosity, and angst, wanting straight answers for everything. I didn’t believe my grandparents or other adults when they gave vague responses because I thought they were keeping the truth from me. Years later, I realized that it’s not that they hid the truth, but that they just didn’t know the exact answers to the questions they were responding to. Just as every unique situation is different, sometimes there is no stock answer to give because there are so many unknown elements. Sure, there are some universal truths, but there are many other situations where morality and righteousness actually lie in the eye of the beholder. This lack of knowledge frustrated me because I grew up in a mathematical, analytical, and science-based environment where if you didn’t know something, you could find the answer in a book somewhere. But that thinking doesn’t apply to emotions and experiences. The unknown is sometimes better left that way.
People Rarely Mean What They Say, But They Always Show What They Feel
Words can be tricky. Often, people say one thing but feel another. You might hear promises that sound nice, but actions tell the real story. It’s easy to get caught up in what someone says, but pay attention to how they act. For example, someone might say they care about you, but if they’re often absent or dismissive, their actions speak louder than their words. Feelings come out in little ways—body language, tone, and how they treat you. These are the signs that reveal their true emotions. This lesson can be hard to accept, but it teaches you to look beyond what people say. Trust your instincts and notice how they treat you. Sometimes, it’s the unspoken feelings that matter the most.
Time Doesn’t Heal, It Just Teaches You How To Live With The Pain
You know, they say time heals all wounds. But does it really? Can time really make everything better, even the things that hurt us the most? It's a question that's been on my mind lately. When you think about it, it seems like time has this magical power to heal, but does it work for everyone, every time?
I mean, think about the times when you've been hurt, really hurt. Does time just sweep those feelings away like they never happened? Or do they linger, even after years have passed? It's hard to say. Sometimes it feels like time is the ultimate cure, that eventually, everything will be okay again. But then there are those moments when the pain resurfaces, as fresh as the day it happened. ← From My Ebook.
People often say time heals all wounds, but that’s a comforting lie. Time doesn’t erase the hurt; it simply teaches you how to carry it. When you experience deep pain, it doesn’t just fade away. Instead, you learn to coexist with it.
Some People Will Only Remember Your Mistakes, No Matter How Much Good You Do
How others treat you is their karma; how you react is yours. If you’re smart, you’ll begin to embrace the harsh realities and the negative treatment of others, not because you’re in denial, but because your acceptance and boarding pass to rise above the drama has already been printed. Understand that there are people who happily sit and watch you make a mistake, knowing full well you failed. If you gave them a sum of money, they would say it’s not enough.
In other words, one of life’s greatest lessons is believing and acting on the truth in the following statement: your value does not decrease based on someone’s inability to see your worth. Even though you are of great value, some people will want your benefits to be removed from you, at the same time pointing out all the bad that came with it. That’s a self-centered, one-sided deal. That is not love. Your life is not a priority for powerless, careless minds focusing on momentary concerns. Rest assured, you are someone’s momentary concern, distracting them from their current life mess.
Not Everyone Wants To Be Saved
I love helping people. It's one of the best feelings ever. But when I try to help people who didn't ask for help or don't want to change, it's never a good feeling. Laying powerful lessons on anyone and everyone is a monotonous and self-righteous behavior to take. Not every issue needs to be addressed in order for the individual to live a normal and peaceful life. The individual must also accept these behaviors on their own terms. So many times, we are just people going through our own issues in life. Personal and outside influences do not need to be a part of someone else's life if they are not requested. And honestly, we should be focusing on ourselves most of the time in life. There are deep-rooted behaviors that we must cultivate inside ourselves to see the changes.
We aren't here to rescue people. Wanting to rescue people can be a very dangerous place to be. Whether it's a celebrity that went off and destroyed their pristine career, proclaimed to preach a message, and then got caught with sexualized drugs, who cares? If someone likes to waste their life, let them. It's seriously not your spirit or happiness that's on the line. If someone isn't asking for help, leave it alone. If they get upset that you were too good to help, dump them. It's not that deep. There's a light in all of us, but it's not our responsibility to ignite that light in others. We can't help departed ones if we're behind enabling their addictions. Their saints are higher powers or willpower, and they need more faith in themselves.
Loving Someone Doesn’t Mean They’ll Love You The Same Way
I wish I could tell you what will happen in the end. But there’s no truth in fairytales. Because those who fall in love once always find their way back. It will take some time, but everything will be okay soon. I learned that the hard way. They can’t be mine, but still, I will silently love them for the rest of my life. Then I learned one painful fact: I actually needed you to tell me that you liked me too, that I was not just a friend.
She was given too much love, with not enough love in return. That was wrong. I spent a lot of tears on that love. Then I learned one of those bitter truths. Loving someone does not force them to love you. They are not obligated to have the same feelings of love you have. I never screamed that I loved her, but why did she reject me when we got older? As I got older, I learned that she and I were not meant to be together. I too was not ready. Neither of us was fully mature. I don’t know how to express this—if you love somebody, tell them. Even if they don’t love you back. Because there is nothing worse than rejection in silence.
“In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.” ―Eleanor Roosevelt
