Reading enables you to see life through another person’s eyes – that’s what I keep learning 🙂
It’s 4 : 37 PM on day 850 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to take off and put on a t-shirt, brush my teeth, feed myself sweet potatoes and yoghurt for breakfast, publish my Disability of the Day feature, practice typing with both hands,practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, stretch my hamstrings and watch TV
Last night I finished reading Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom – the book consists of life lessons Morrie (a terminally ill former professor) passes on to Mitch (his former student) – and I would like to share with you some of the lessons I learned from this book. Take a look:
Greatest lessons I’ve learned from Tuesdays With Morrie
- Devote yourself to loving others, your community and things that give your life meaning and purpose.
- Most of us don’t live life to the fullest because we don’t believe that we are going to die.
- If today’s culture of consumerism isn’t working for you don’t buy into it create your own culture.
- In the end money and power don’t mean a thing.
- Growing older is a good thing because the realization that we will one day die causes us to live better.
- Be present in every moment.
- Forgive yourself for what you did or didn’t do and forgive others for what they did or didn’t do.
- We live on in the hearts of those whose lives we’ve touched.
