It's no big secret that life is an incredibly tricky thing. 

However, before you berate yourself for failing one more time, remember that it's like that for everyone: Hollywood A-listers, world-class scientists, Instagram influencers who fly to the Seychelles every other weekend, your mom, and even your elderly neighbor who seems so content all the time. 

We're all experiencing life for the very first time, and it would be foolish to believe that we're able to nail it without encountering a few rocky roads on our way – yet, a few life lessons from those who have gone a long way have never hurt anybody. 

“What is something that not a lot of people know [and] that if they knew it, would drastically improve their quality of life?” – this web user turned to one of Reddit’s most thought-provoking communities, asking its members to share their go-to piece of advice that would significantly enhance someone's quality of life. The post managed to garner over 1.6K upvotes as well as 1.5K comments revealing only the most life-changing tips.

I did it once and I don't want to really do it again. It's not what I imagined it would be like. I hated having to deal with the corrupted schools. I do not miss the morning walks to school and back 2 to 3 times a day, morning, noon and afternoons, in -35C wind chills, trying to make sure she has a well rounded lunch she likes and is allowed to bring to school. Parent teacher meetings don't feel any different than what it was like being a kid. Meetings with the principal is just like when you were a kid being sent to the principal's office. Call your kid in sick becomes a game of how well you can convince the secretary your kid is sick enough to stay home. If your kid does poorly in a class or on a test, you feel as much like a failure to your kids. You're scrutinized for your age being a parent no matter your age. Now having kids in your 20s is considered too young. Having kids in your 30s is "getting up there". 40s? Everyone's losing their s**t. Pediatricians don't want to hear your

In This Viral Thread, People Are Exchanging Tips And Hacks For Living A Better Life (30 Answers) Always round down your paycheck. You made 433 this week. So 400.

Always round up your bills.

Take you highest monthly bills times 12 and that's an estimate for how much you need to live.

Then take the lowest pay month and times that by 12. That's how much you make a year. Roughly.

Bills fluctuate(heat electric etc)and your pay isn't always the same. IE sick days etc.

This is the difference between what you can buy and what you can afford. If your pay is below or slightly over to those yearly bills you need to cut stuff or another job.

This will help you estimate your financial status before it becomes a bigger problem.

I used to think I was abnormal and weird for needing to do that. Sometimes you have to have a washroom break in the middle of sex. That should be okay, too. If your partner has a problem with that then he's a lousy sex partner and a jerk. Possibly an abusive, controlling, selfish jerk.

“Trusting someone” isn’t actually trusting the other person to never make a mistake or never hurt your feelings - that’s something you can’t control.
It’s putting trust in yourself that you have the ability to handle any situation that may come with being vulnerable. Life hasn’t been the same since I realized.

Life is very short. Try to have as much fun as you can in that short period of time. You got like 900 months and that’s it.

Remember, you really don’t need a big house or an expensive car or a lot of other materialistic stuff. Less is more. And by having less means you save a lot of money. Most people have to work very hard to maintain a certain lifestyle. A lot of people are slaves to their own mortgage or other fixed costs. But does that really make you happy?

I've lived in a big house and I don't desire a big house. You have to clean it and maintain it, both inside and outside. A large portion of your life will be focused on the well-being of the house that you will want a vacation from your home when you're on vacation from work. When you're not working on your home you're worrying about all the expensive things that can happen to your home. I'm happier renting a small suite.

Yes and no. This is a delicate dance because some people do care more than they'll show it you, and how people show they like you will differ based on many factors. They could also be waiting for you to make the first move and think you care less than you do. Relationships of any kind shouldn't be turned into this cat and mouse game.

Having strong muscles, bones, and tendons is crucial for everything to do with life. And as you age, they inevitably atrophy, so having a higher starting point when you get old prolongs you vitality significantly.

There's plenty of reasons why everybody should hit the gym at least once per week.

For some reason, most people seem to think gym is just for aesthetics. Your muscles aren't aesthetic organs, ffs.

It sounds silly, but attaching my keys to my wallet and using a Tile has been such a big change for little effort. I used to waste so much time hunting for my keys and wallet, and now I don’t.

Also laying out my clothes the night before. Even though I don’t have a complex wardrobe or anything, it just gets me going.

Before I go to bed each night, I gather my clothes and hang them in the bathroom and put my work bag by the door. I usually pack my lunch as well, but if I do the other two the night before, I have time in the morning to pack my lunch. My mother did this with all thirteen of us and I have continued it into adulthood. It makes the mornings go much smoother.

My brain can't process this image, it just can't. I don't know what I'm looking at

Mindfulness gets a bad press if you ask me. It's just a case of tuning in to all of your senses and suppressing active thought. It can be quite grounding and relaxing. The only difficulty is finding the time to do it and a suitable location. You don't have to grow dreadlocks and live in a commune though, but you can if you want.

In This Viral Thread, People Are Exchanging Tips And Hacks For Living A Better Life (30 Answers) If you’re in a car that’s new to you and don’t know what side the gas tank is on, there’s a symbol by your gas gauge (usually of a gas pump) with an arrow showing which side your tank is located on

First thing I do before I get into an unfamiliar car is check to see what side the gas cap is on.

If you use a Neti pot to clear your sinuses, you need to use water that’s been filtered or boiled first. If you use water that hasn’t been sterilized, like tap water, there’s a chance brain eating amoebae which you just shoved up your nose could travel further up and infect your brain.

Yeah, distilled water should be used. No chemicals that irritate and cause even more problems.

"Do the thing, and you shall have the power." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Instead of wanting the "strength/will/confidence" to do something, do the something to get the "strength/will/confidence".

Doesn't have to be a huge action, just something small daily or weekly and let it compound.

Yes! So many things can be started this way and reward you later when you see how much (whatever it is) has accumulated. Works for everything from money to skills to abilities and exercise! Put the 'change' into a jar and check it once a year. Start with Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star on the piano and practice. One push-up or pull-up a day can and will turn into being able to do hundreds. Being able to carve wood with a knife is awesome but everyone starts at the beginning; even those truly talented people start with splinters and broken pieces of wood. A little every week or day compounds and distills it to where people will point to you as the expert, but only after practice and application.
