Life Lessons from 2024: What This Year Taught Me

-

 







This year has been quite a journey, filled with life’s inevitable ups and downs. 2024 taught me some of the most valuable lessons I’ve ever learned. Now, as we stand on the edge of 2025, it feels like the perfect moment to pause, look back, and reflect on the experiences that made me humbler and more resilient and shaped me into a better version of myself.


Let Them Be

I was one of those people who used to get upset by other people’s behavior around me. Sometimes their actions or decisions affected me deeply. It took me a while to understand that I’m not responsible for their actions. We all have our consciousness. Whatever actions they take solely come from them, and we shouldn’t take them personally.

Let them be. Set them free from your life, and you will feel an immense positive energy shift in your life. As they say, when the wrong people leave from your life, the right things start to happen.

Live Your Life on Your Own Terms

Everyone is unique in their way. We are on a journey called life. For some of us, it takes less time to figure out what we want to do in life, whether it is finding our passion or leading a purposeful life. For some people, it might take much longer to find their purpose, but that doesn’t mean they are behind in life.

We all come from different nations, classes, and cultures, but that doesn’t necessarily divide us. We have a lot more in common than we think. Do not let anyone define your journey, your path, or your purpose. Live your life based on your own belief system and move forward at your own pace in life.

The Present Moment Is All We Have

Some of us are either living in the past or the future. This very present moment is the only one we have. In this world of distractions and chaos, it’s become hard to be present nowadays.

With the coming new year and new promises, we need to be more present. Focus on only one thing at a time. When you are having a meal, just focus on the meal. Be present when you are spending time with your friends and family. Giving your full attention can improve your connections with others and help you feel more connected.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I

took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference

Value yourself even when nobody does

  Once you start growing up, you realize some people don’t like you anymore as they used to or pretended to. You are no longer their favorite if you don’t fulfill their wishes or listen to what they say. Remember, this is your life journey. Don’t live your life based on other people’s opinions; you need to make choices for yourself. You do not belong to them. Everyone is unique in their own way, and no one is superior to others. There are times when you may feel unworthy, as if nobody values or cares for you. This might be because of your surroundings — they don’t make you feel good about yourself and instead make you feel unimportant. In times like this, you need to gather yourself with love, care, and protection. Do not let people teach you hate. Don’t hang out with such people. When things get difficult, you need to treat yourself with small joys: go to a coffee shop, spend quality time with yourself, or go on a vacation if you can. Surround yourself with nature, and you will fe...

The Power of Giving

  Do you believe in the power of giving? What you give out to the world means you will receive something much better in return as a reward.  Everything you say, the things you do, the words that you choose to say, the act of empathy that you show towards other people — it all becomes part of the universe. Life has a way of paying back all the good things you show through different gestures that will come back to you.  We must become aware of our actions and the work that we do. The things that we bring to the world stay with us and become part of the universal soul of the world. We shouldn’t take anything for granted. Be thankful for the life you have, and spread kindness and empathy toward everyone. The Act of Kindness As human beings, what can we leave to this world? How do we want people to remember us? What should their impression be when they think of us? How do we want them to envision us? We will not take anything from this world, but what we leave on this earth is...

You’re On Your Own, Kid

  Things that didn’t happen in life, those who left you when you needed them the most — maybe those people and those things you wanted weren’t meant for you. You are on your own. Nobody will take care of you, look after you, or check on you if you are having a bad day, a nervous breakdown, or feeling the worst of life with continuous anxiety. You have to take care of yourself. Being 18 years old, I now realize how fast life moves on, how all those years just pass by in a moment. All the things I promised myself to acquire or learn — I haven’t gotten the chance to explore. Time passing by is a reminder of the precious moments slipping away from life. Stop lamenting over the things you haven’t achieved. You are the future of yourself, filled with immense possibilities. You can be whoever you want to be. You can live anywhere in the world if you wish. You are capable of all this. Life is short yet long enough to fight with yourself. Life is short on Earth; it’s important to choose the...
