Life is a journey full of choices, many of which are very difficult to make. Therefore, we sometimes make poor judgments, ruin valuable relationships, and miss important opportunities.

However, as we age, we grow wiser, as life has its numerous ways to teach us some key lessons.

Yet, some are more important than others, and here is what we should all learn before we leave this world:

• Don’t be afraid of who you are, so never pretend to be someone else. Be true to yourself, accept who you are, and learn to truly love yourself. Follow your passions and be true to your calling. Do what you love, as “success is not the key to happiness; happiness is the key to success.”
• You cannot live life to the fullest and enjoy the pleasures it brings if you are not living with your fullest energy and vibrancy. Our health is our most valuable asset. Take care of yourself, relieve stress, and give up your unhealthy habits, to make each and every day count.
• Don’t waste your energy on jealousy and envy, but try to redirect it so you can improve and become more successful. Give your best in everything you do, be passionate, and follow your dreams.
• Take care of others, and respect them, as life is much better when spent in the company of people you love and love you in return.
• Change starts within us. Be the change you wish to see in this world and try to make it a better place.
• Life is too short to be afraid to stand out. Be brave and dare to ask more. People might criticize or laugh at you, but it should never keep you from challenging things you dislike in the world.

The one thing that we should always keep in mind is that nothing in life is guaranteed. One of the hardest lessons to learn is to be thankful for what you have today. Life can change in an instant.
