Here are 15 Most Valuable Life Lessons from ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’:
1. “Accept what you are able to do and what you are not able to do.” 2. “Accept the past as past, without denying it or discarding it.” 3. “Learn to forgive yourself and to forgive others.” 4. “The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn’t work, don’t buy it.” 5. “So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they’re busy doing things they think are important. This is because they’re chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.” 6. “If you really want it, then you’ll make your dream happen.” 7. “I don’t allow myself any more self-pity than that. A little each morning, a few tears, and that’s all . . . . It’s horrible to watch my body slowly wilt away to nothing. But it’s also wonderful because of all the time I get to say goodbye.” 8. “Don’t cling to things, because everything is impermanent.” 9. “If you’ve found meaning in your life you don’t want to go back. You want to go forward. You want to see more, do more. You can’t wait until sixty-five.” 10. “The big things—how we think, what we value—those you must choose yourself. You can’t let anyone--or any society—determine those for you.” 11. “Be compassionate. And take responsibility for each other. If we only learned those lessons, this world would be so much better a place.” 12. “As long as we can love each other, and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there. You live on—in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here.” 13. The important questions have to do with love, responsibility, spirituality, awareness.14. “You’re not a wave, you are part of the ocean.”15. “There is no such thing as ‘too late’ in life.”
