It never ceases to amaze me when learning opportunities arise from seemingly mundane experiences. Then again, when is any life experience truly mundane? Most times we learn lessons by listening to others in our lives, those times when we are opening our minds and hearts to others.

In that vein I present some things I’ve learned from those everyday moments.

1. You are worth it.

This thought is for those of us who sometimes find it hard to believe in our abilities, or see the divine within ourselves. When things are darkest and we begin to loose hope we sometimes seek out others to give us a reason to keep moving. The reason is as simple as the statement above.

2. You are not your mistakes.

We all screw up, sometimes by accident sometimes we even sabotage ourselves. Ask yourself if your situations don’t evolve because you are afraid of change or your current environment doesn’t provide enough reasons to make those changes. When others take time to point out the emotional collateral in your life it can make it easier to get beyond your fears.

3. Nothing wrong with moving on.

Occasionally we have to clean house and remove people in our lives which offer nothing but toxic influence. At worst some will keep you in a position which is useful for them through the use of insults, or simply by dousing the fire of inspiration. Remove from your life those who would keep you down by remembering forward progression is healthy. Don’t allow emotional collateral to leave you running in place.

4. Experiment, experiment, experiment

Trying new things, learning new skills, and testing the waters is normal and should be done without fear.
