Another very important lesson that I learned from reading Lord of the Rings was to stop wishing for a better or more exciting life. Gandalf's saying really hit home for me:
Quote:

So do all that come to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Reading that made me realize that there are plenty of things that I could do to with my life, instead of sitting in one place bemoaning its dullness. It gave me the inspiration to actually start doing things again.
