35 Lessons About Life, Love & Human Connection

I posted this on social media on my birthday months ago, and people have referred back to it often. It turned out to be my most-saved post of 2021! I refer back to this list often too, because these are the lessons I try to live by and incorporate into my everyday life. Here's a handful we'll be talking about: Pain can be your greatest teacher. But don't forget to feel it before trying to skip to the lessons. Trust your inner knowing. Intuition is a combination of logic and feeling. Don't beat yourself up for not getting your intuition right the first time - logic can only be learned through lived experiences. You have to live it to learn it. Letting go may be the secret to happiness. Because life is a series of happy moments strung together, but you'll miss them if you're too busy searching for that one destination. One trip traveling solo is equivalent to at least 5 years of therapy. Trust = clarity + choice You won't know the strength or depth of a connection until it's been tested by conflict. And 29 more! ;) Let me know what you think, and what can we add to the list?! Send me a DM and we'll keep the list going.   REFERENCES The Capacity for Compassion Masterclass Episode 238 | 20 Things Not Worth Postponing in Life Episode 248 | Grief, Love & Why One Cannot Exist Without the Other Episode 249 | Developing the Capacity for Unconditional Love Episode 260 | How to Let Go & Recover From Loss Episode 264 | The 4 Key Components of Connection that Will Change Your Relationships Episode 275 | Connection Over Control: Where Are You Faking It in Your Relationship?
