Steve Pavlina asks a question: If you could pass on one valuable lesson to the world before you die, what would it be?
A very good question indeed. He’s listed a number of Life Lessons from various people, and invited us, his readers, to pass on our own wisdom. I thought I’d pass on mine in this post:
Learn to love and forgive yourself. You’re worth it. Don’t listen to anyone tell you you’re not. You can’t truly love and forgive others until you can find it for yourself first.

It’s really quite interesting to ‘embrace my introversion’ and work on accepting who I am and believing it’s ok. I’m an introvert, and that’s ok. Take it or leave it, it’s who I am.
It’s my responsibility to understand others in order to relate to them, but it’s not my responsibility to change who I am in order to fit in with them.
I’m starting to understand that.

As I’ve grown and understand more about myself these past few weeks, I’ve learnt - or rediscovered - that I’m an introvert. And that’s ok.
In this extroverted world, where extroversion is rewarded and introversion is punished or encouraged to change, introverts are misunderstood in a big way. Many introverts find that the only way to get ahead is to pretend to be extroverted, and then find themselves experiencing inner conflict as they struggle to be something they’re not.
