In life, we learn so many things and forget them when the need for learning is over. It's time once in a while we revisit the forgotten lessons.

Some of the lessons are listed below.

1.) Choose Your Priority Wisely -

It's always better to know about your priorities ahead in life. it's always better to map out the list of pros and cons of your set agendas. If you don't keep your priorities in mind. You'll lose one of them.

If you always run towards your wants, then the things you need will be sacrificed. And you won’t be able to do anything.

2)Being Extremely Cautious With Each Step -

You have to be extremely cautious of the decision that you are taking today. And use this opportunity to the best of your ability. The present and the time you have to do anything is limited. Your time is limited on this planet. Use it wisely cause if you lose the time you won't get the same opportunity again. The flow of time once passed won't be the same again.

If you are not careful today with the smallest details then you’ll suffer in the future because of those small slip-ups.

3)To Never Stop Learning -

You know we usually have a tendency to stop learning anything once our formal education or informal education is over. But it's usually not the case. It's such a sad reality that we go through this state of our brain. The moment we stop putting effort into learning anything or learning anything new. We are stopping our growth and our future potential from reaching its full potential. As we age that's the reason that our ability to learn starts declining as it's not in use. So, never stop learning. Cause if you do your growth stops there.

4)Not Afraid of Committing Mistakes-

You shouldn't be afraid of committing mistakes just because you are too afraid of their aftermath. It just tells you what kind of approach you have towards your growth potential when you see you're self committing mistakes. That's you being shallow. Don't be that person.

Thomas A. Edison once said, "I have not failed.I have just found 10,000 ways that don't work."

Mistakes are your navigating points in life. And you’re the first teacher of yourself. Never ignore them. And don't be afraid of them. Just accept them with an open mind and recorrect them. Once you do, you will realize you are breaking away from your own misconception that you created around blunders. Be bold!

5) Do One Thing Till The End

You should always focus your energy on one thing. Not try to do multiple things all at once. This might lead to incomplete work. And you don't want that, do you? For investment, it has been advised to not put your eggs in one basket which is totally true. But when it comes to a task you need to focus your energy and your attention span on one thing. This will lead to a complete task in your work. It might be gruesome if you come back to do the work again.

6) Consistency Being The Game Changer-

The world works on the principle of consistency. Those who believe and follow the principle are always far ahead in life. Those who don't believe and follow this principle are always far behind in life. It can make you or break you.

You'll get your due sooner or later. So have patience.

To reach anywhere you need consistency. Without them, you can’t move ahead in life. They make life colorful and meaningful. This may be a long lonesome journey, but it'll be fruitful.

7) Taking An Action -

Taking an action is always better than not taking one. You do realize bluffing and making up excuses don't land you anywhere in life. It just makes you guilty of not being able to do what you said. You stay in your position when don't take action. You move forward in life when you take action. You have come across many books in life and Youtube videos. And how many lessons that were being taught in those videos have you actually implemented in your life? Just see the stats here and I'm not even bluffing at this point.

Only 1% or 5% of people implement out 1M subscribers on Youtube. The rest 99% or 95 of people don't take action and don't change their life. Only these people make a name for themselves in their respective fields, society and nation, and the world. Elon Musk is a pretty well-known figure worldwide.So, why do you think he is,where he is today ? one action changed every thing along with consistency.

Implementation is always better than bluffing. You do more than you speak. It builds results. So always act and be fast about it.

These were the learning that I came across in 2021.
