experience

And I went into the new year loving myself a little less, but a little more where it actually mattered.

It__ a journey and the sad thing is you only learn from experience, so as much as someone can tell you things, you have to go out there and make your own mistakes in order to learn.

Experience has taught me that there are some situations in which it's better to keep quiet. That is, I tried to keep quiet. Life gives me good advice, but sometimes I refuse to take it.

Some care is needed in using Descartes' argument. "I think, therefore I am" says rather more than is strictly certain. It might seem as though we are quite sure of being the same person to-day as we were yesterday, and this is no doubt true in some sense. But the real Self is as hard to arrive at as the real table, and does not seem to have that absolute, convincing certainty that belongs to particular experiences.

Nobody ever talks about the pyramids that weren't built, the books that weren't written, the songs that weren't sung. Stop letting your fear condemn you to mediocrity. Get out of your own way. Your dreams are a poetic reflection of your soul's wishes. Be courageous enough to follow them. There is no greater time than now to experience the full power of your potential. Make this the day you take the first step in the beautiful journey of bringing your dreams to life.

Don__ fear experience. Embrace each one as a gift, a teacher, a step to get closer to where you want to be and who you want to become.

Our preoccupation with goals, results, and the quick fix has separated us from our own experiences.

4 Don__ Die_ Principles:_ Change your awareness and your perspective changes._ You teach what you need to learn._ You can make excuses or you can achieve your goals, but you cannot do both._ Experience is what you get when you don__ get what you want.

Life was a bloody battlefield until I conquered the enemy and won the war. Now, life is a journey, and I am a warrior. Prepared for anything and weakened by nothing. There are hills and dales, mountains and plateaus, blind spots and brilliant vistas, but none of that matters. All that matters is my second chance, and the only thing capable of disrupting my path, is myself.

Be willing to take a stand for the things you believe in, because no one else will stand there for you.

There is more experience on the field of justification than on the camp of training. Sometimes, you got to take actions to learn more.

Life can only be experienced.

Experience is something you have to go through to tell it details.

You have the capacity to do the work.

We learn from every experience to be wise.

Without experience, how will you know what exist?

If you do not tell me, I don__ wish to know.

Occasionally, events in one's life become clearer through the prism of experience, a phrase which simply means that things tend to be clearer as time goes on. For instance, when a person is just born, they usually have no idea what curtains are and spend a great deal of their first months wondering why on earth Mommy and Daddy have hung large pieces of cloth over each window in the nursery. But as the person grows older, the idea of curtains becomes clearer through the prism of experience. The person will learn the word "curtains" and notice that they are actually quite handy for keeping a room dark when it is time to sleep, and for decorating an otherwise boring window area. Eventually, they will entirely accept the idea of curtains of their own, or venetian blinds, and it is all due to the prism of experience.
