19 Life Lessons For Teenagers

Boy, there were some life lessons that a father could only impart to his son. You see, I was foolish when I was younger, and I had to learn things the hard way.

Life had to repeatedly bring me to my knees before the lessons finally sunk in, but I can now use my suffering to prevent you from wasting years of your life.

I’m going to share with you 19 life lessons that I needed to learn when I was a teenager.

1: Take life seriously

Don’t pay attention to those who advise you to not take life too seriously since they lack ambition and have abandoned themselves.

“Young men are blessed with high testosterone and energy, and when you are not taking life seriously, you are wasting that gift pathetically instead you must aim to become a monster you don’t want self-improvement and ruthlessly out-grow all your friends.

If there are friends that can keep up with your improvement that would be great if they can’t then that is their problem.”

2: Pick your battles wisely

In life, choose your battles wisely. Physical, mental, and verbal confrontations that are not worth winning may frequently come up in your life.

I’ve previously erred in this way. My ego wouldn’t let me allow me to avoid any form of confrontation.

I grew more and more far from my goals and accomplishments as a result of me trying to avoid any kind of conflict. I was stupid.

Choose your battles wisely because if you engage in them all, you won’t be able to win the ones that really count.

3: Avoid bad habits like the plague

steer clear of unhealthy behaviours at all costs. Good timekeeping Avoid playing video games.

Never consume alcohol. Many people will exert pressure on you to develop bad behaviours. They’ll tell you that you’re uninteresting and that you should join them.

You might even begin to think that the fun is all being missed. The truth is that poor habits are hard to break and are simple to form.

The more you can entirely stay away from them, the more fortunate you will be in life. People who are currently encouraging you to engage in bad behavior will later have to struggle to break those same habits.

Many of them will continue to be losers as a result of their inability to break those negative behaviours.

4: Build an iron mind

Many people’s minds are fragile because they don’t endure enough suffering. Building a strong body is the best method to develop a strong mind.

Whether you join an MMA gym, practice heavy sets of squats at the gym, or go for morning sprints, they are all directly related.

To develop an iron will, you must discover a means to endure pain and build a strong body and Iron Mind!

5: See though manipulation

every time a story is told. Even if it comes from the government or the media, you shouldn’t just take it as gospel.

Always consider the source of the information and the rationale behind the source’s desire for you to trust it. If you think it’s true, what’s the advantage for them? Over the past century, nothing has changed about human nature.

Powerful individuals are aware of this. They are skilled at using powerful emotions like fear and rage against you.

It makes no difference if the news is about a virus or a war. Always analyze with objectivity. Don’t let other people manipulate your emotions.

6: Pay yourself first

This is more of an investor mentality, and it’s a saying that’s well-known in the field of personal finance; however, it doesn’t necessarily apply to money, despite what the word suggests; rather, it can ultimately imply to put yourself first because no one else will do it for you.

7: Forgive others out of selfishness

Forgive other not because they deserve it but because YOU need it. It will put unnecessary mental strain on your brain.

That would further lead to extended periods of thinking about a guy or an incident that you can do nothing about.

If you don’t plan on taking revenge now, forgive him.

8: Talk is cheap

Men cannot establish their reputations on what they will do. If you want a good reputation, you must put in the effort.

I’ve met many men in my life who talked a big game but never delivered.

9: Don’t label yourself

When you put labels on yourself, you limit the results that you can get in your life. For example, if you say, I am weak,” you have now put the label of weakness on yourself.

The moment your arms start shaking a little bit during push-ups, your mind will automatically convince you that it’s because you are too weak and you will quit.

Instead, you must only put empowering labels on yourself or not put a label on yourself at all.

Example can be, I am the Top G!

10: Learn about female nature

Many guys who have no success with girls will call them unpredictable and complicated, but the opposite is true.

Girls become extremely predictable once you understand how they work. Not understanding female nature can ruin even the greatest man’s life.

It will cost you greatly sooner or later if you underestimate this, so learn about female nature even if you are not dating at the moment.

11: Stand firm in what you believe

In 1967, Muhammad Ali refused to be drafted into the army due to religious objections to the Vietnam War.

He was sentenced to prison and forbidden to fight for years during his physical prime.

No matter the consequences, Muhammad Ali stood firm behind what he believed in, as any masculine man should.

12: A good friend is golden

One loyal friend is worth more than ten thousand relatives. It may be difficult to find one, but if you do have one, make sure you cherish it.

A true friend should be willing to fight and even die for a true friend.

13: Build high income skills

Times have changed and people still haven’t fully realised it yet; they still work a regular job and don’t capitalize on the internet.

The sooner you can start learning online skills, the better, or you will be looking for skills that are evergreen, meaning they will always be important and highly paid.

Sales and copywriting are two examples of such skills.

14: Build a relationship with god

When I say this, I already know there are some people who will get triggered. We live in a time where people get angry when someone gives praise to the Creator.

Listen, the only way to truly be strong when all hell breaks loose is by trusting in God, and the only way to stay grounded when you reach the top is by giving all praise to God.

15: Know your next move

If you want to win, you need to know how to be strategic. Don’t just be a meathead and let life happen to you, plan ahead.

What is your next move, and what is the move that comes after that? The more solid moves you are able to plan ahead, the better.

16: pivot

Even if you plan everything out perfectly, things will happen. Storms will come your way, and there will be many times when you will have to adjust your plan.

You need to be able to switch your moves quickly if necessary. Don’t hesitate to decide.

17: listen to understand

Humans are naturally selfish; we love to talk about ourselves and feel like the main character of life.

Some people listen only to agree or disagree right away. Listen to understand. Don’t listen; respond.

18: Don’t be a coward

he worst type of man is a coward. It is so disgusting that you can’t even call this individual a man.

Aim to be brave no matter how you feel and always have the backs of the people in your circle.

19: Always be grateful

No matter what happens in life, there is always a reason to be grateful for something. I don’t care what you are going through.

You could have the worst day of your life. It does not matter. There is always something to be grateful for.

You could have been brutally murdered today. Remember that.

Use this Knowledge to improve yourself, it helped me drastically.
