Lessons That 2016 Has Left Behind And Here Are Some.
There is always something about the last few days of December-excitement, fear, anticipation and hope for the new year to precede. While we embark on new journey of a new year of life, it never turns out the way we have hoped for. Like always, life makes us face adversity and pass through difficult hurdles. If not, then lucky you!
But, such deadlocks of life are only disguised as a life lesson for us.
We may not accept them initially, but a few things- do hit hard. They stay with us in form of lessons – that linger on….
We asked you about such lessons that 2016 is leaving behind and here are some… picked for you all to read and to reflect upon.

4) Never Close Your Heart

19) Remember, No Matter What
Always put yourself first, take care of yourself even if people call you selfish you deserve to treat yourself.
Don’t let people affect you negatively, let people help you grow, learn from peoples mistakes and learn from yours.
Always be honest with yourself and to others no matter what.”
