One of the benefits of getting older is that you have more things to look back on, to reflect on and to hopefully learn from.
Here are a few of the things I have learned or am trying to do better at.
I find, I don't always have to be right. Being right isn't as important as it used to be. In fact sometimes being right but not saying anything is the best thing to do.
I find that listening is better than talking.
I find that differences are not a brick wall, they can open doors to new and even better perspectives, solutions and needed growth.
Building is so much better than tearing down.
Assuming stayed the same. It gets you into trouble.
The more one leans on Heavenly FAther in choices and decisions, the better the outcome in the long run and the less one has to live with regrets.
Love can only do so much.
The more one trusts in Heavenly Father, the more one lets go of what they want or think is best, the more you simply do what He asks no matter how hard or how much you don't understand, the happier you will be, the easier things will get and the more you will come to understand.
The more one tries to measure up to Heavenly Fathers yard stick and stop trying to measure up to others, the more you will find that you like about yourself.
When one sees fault in others but choses to look inward for ways to improve oneself instead of trying to change others, the happier they will become and the more the capacity to love will grow. ( Satan wanted to fix everyone and make them change) The Savior wanted to allow for differences, to make mistakes, to learn from them and become better. He loved and trusted.
The older you get, the worse your memory becomes and the less you remember the dumb and stupid things you have done.
