20 lessons we learned in 2019

2019 is officially over and today we’ve welcomed not only a new year but a new decade. 2019 has been a year of great changes for us, we have learned a lot, we’ve changed our way of thinking about many things. But it was also an important year because the new Lost in Daydreams was officially born after many months of work and our vision of how we wanted this new site has become reality. In today’s post we share with you the 20 most important lessons that we learned in 2019.

1. Sometimes life is unfair and kicks you when you did everything right. It is best to move on.
2. Your past has brought you to the place you’re supposed to be. Whatever happened over this past year, be thankful for where it brought you. Where you are is where you’re meant to be.
3. Everybody is responsible for oneself.
4. It’s not always worth a fight. it’s important to know when to stop arguing with people, and simply let them be wrong.
5. It is impossible to use rational argument to dissuade someone of an irrational point of view.
6. Our habits decide our future.
7. Most of the time, people aren’t doing things TO you. They’re doing things FOR them. They’re not trying to slight you or hurt you, they’re just like everyone else putting themselves first. You likely didn’t even come into the equation when they were deciding.
8. Your only competition is who you were yesterday. 
9. People come and go, but the right ones stay.
10. Avoid negative people, life is too short. If someone makes you feel tired and unpleasant more than happy, it’s time to let them go. Stay free in your authenticity. The only person that is truly aware of your emotions, your intentions, or your interpretation of experiences is you. As much as others may identify with you or your actions, it is impossible to go through life without occasionally being misunderstood. While you can control what you say and how you act, you cannot control how others choose to interpret it. And it may sometimes seem that no matter how much you try to explain yourself to others, they just don’t “get it”. This should be expected.
11. If something doesn’t feel right, it most likely isn’t. Have the courage to end what doesn’t serve you well. Have the courage to end anything that manipulates you into someone you’re not. Have the kind of faith that gives you the power to believe that something better is on its way to you even if you can’t see it yet. Never settle for anything less than what you deserve.
12. Hate no one. No matter how much they’ve wronged you. Forgive all, especially yourself and build boundaries. If you don’t learn to forgive, you well end up bitter and resentful. Get over it and move on.
13. Stop trying to solve someone else’s problems.
14. Just because its an emergency for them doesn’t mean it has to be an emergency for you.
15. People who don’t respect your boundaries don’t respect you.
16. Never look back and never forget how far you have come.
17. We don’t see things as they are, we see things as we are.
18. The best moments are the ones you live offline. Remember to disconnect from time to time and to live in the here and now. Social media are fun but real life is in the real world.
19. Never stop learning new things. Never stop being curious and never stop asking why.
