- 1. The Most Important Things You’ll Ever 92Life Lessons by Lori Deschene & You LEARN
- 2. It all starts so simply. You learn to tie your shoes, recite your ABCs, and carry the 1. Then it starts getting more complicated. You learn that people sometimes hurt you. That even if you plan as best you can, the future can sometimes surprise you. That the things you expect will make you happy sometimes fall horribly short. You start collecting ideas about how the world works and how you should operate within it--what to do, how to be, who to trust. Then just when you think you have it all figured out, your world cracks open and reminds you there's still so much to learn. People often debate the meaning of life and how we should live it, but I think most agree that life's about learning. It's about being a little wiser and more self aware today than yesterday, and using that wisdom to make the world a better place than you found it. We all have that potential within us. We're all students and teachers, vulnerable and powerful--and that's a beautiful thing. The most influential people in the world have both the courage to inspire and the humility to be inspired. I'm honored that many of these people are connected to Tiny Buddha on Facebook. I asked them, "What's the most important thing you'll ever learn?" I’ve compiled their answers into a guide for all of us. You may want to read it all, or skip to the section most relevant to you. Either way, enjoy!
