50+ Words of Wisdom My Father Told Me You can Tell Yourself!

50+ Words of Wisdom My Father Told Me You can Tell Yourself!

Your old man probably told you a lot of things growing up? You know, those little "pearls of wisdom" that have helped you to get through the day, or your whole life, in one piece. But just in case he never told you everything, here's 50+ more words of wisdom that you may have not been told by your dad that you'll probably find useful in living your life. Like a true wise man! Maybe!

And I had another idea while writing this, since people like things in "bite sized chunks", and they are great perfect life hacks! I thought I'll do a post on about 50 things that my old man taught me when growing up. That I've taken with me, embedded into my memory like they're written in stone! Some of the things he told me I don't think I was ready for. It was only later on in life that I fully came to understand the wisdom behind them!

So here's the first one for the day:

1. Looking for a date son? Don't go for a woman that you think is a match for you. Go for a woman that you think is out of your league. Trust me on this one son, you'll surprise yourself!

I can't remember how old I was when my old man told this to me! I think I was about 10 and going on my first date or looking for a date to take to the school prom with with me. I was like 10 years old and I was really just thinking about what girl I could call up or talk to at school or something that I could ask to go with me and here's my old man talking about woman as though I'm a grown man! LOL. But I understood what he meant and trusted him on it. Partly for a laugh to see what happened, I ended up asking some girl in the year above me who I'd always thought was out of my league and never really bothered talking to before. That was one of my first high school loves and we went out for a while but I ended up finding out it was better to have her as a friend as I was growing up fast and dated a few other people since by being more confident in myself than I thought I could be and by not settling for what peer pressure or natural instinct alone tells you and reach higher. You never know what might happen and what is the worst that can happen you know?

Have you ever been told anything like this by your dad or your mom as a son or a daughter?

Have you ever not settled for what the world tells you you should have and reached higher for better and got it?

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed this post and you're a little wiser for it too!
