10 life lessons I learned — Bjorn’s Blog

I have many goals in my life, and one of them is to learn as much as possible. I try not to let a single day go by, without learning at least something. Some days I learn a lot, while following a web training, or reading a few Blinkist books, or by simply talking to someone who knows things that I don’t. Some days I learn only small things, or I simply think about the day, and try to learn from what happened that day.

In this post, I want to share already a few of the lessons I’ve learned in life. Some the hard way, some in compassion and love. But of all of them I hope they will help you too! And more will follow, no doubt.

Being brave is being scared of something and doing it anyway.

If you’re not scared of doing something, and you do it, it’s not brave, it’s just doing something. Maybe even doing something stupid. The real brave people are the ones who conquer their fears every day.

Pro Tip: make conquering your fear a daily thing: do one thing every day that scares you, that pulls you out of your comfort zone.

You are only being stopped from living the life you want by yourself, not by whatever else you think it is.
