This post was inspired by Alex Blackwell at thenext45years with much appreciation. I found it to be such a great tool for self-discovery and acknowledgment of where I am within myself, I left a list at his site, and that made me want to open up the opportunity for you to add your thoughts. You can click here to see my post on Alex’s site.I wish I never learned:

~striving for excellence wasn’t the norm
~the end of joy filled moments
~that life is only temporary
~I wish I never learned how to stop believing
~to expect less from life than the absolute best
~how not to communicate
~to speak more than to listen
~any negative thoughts
~that love doesn’t conquer all
~time does not heal all wounds
~some people are unable to experience or give love
~I wish I never learned to be untrue to myself
~to judge myself harshly rather than to forgive
~to beat myself up mentally instead of moving forward
~to see the world and others through inaccurate labels
~I wish I never learned all the things I wish I never learned

What are the things you are working on in your own personal development and self-actualization? What is it that you personally wish you had never learned, or realized sooner?
