23 Years 23 Lessons Learned
I recently turned 23 and since 2018 is just around the corner, I’m sharing with you the 23 lessons I learned throughout life.
23 Years, 23 Lessons Learned
1. God won’t let you down.
He’ll never leave you empty. If God asks you to let go of something, it’s because he’s about to give you the best. Trust in Him, He’s got you. Always.
2. Forgive everyone.
Forgive. Event if it seems impossible. It’s a gift to yourself, to be happy, to be at peace. You’re not doing this for them, you’re doing this for yourself.
3. Be generous.
A little help can have a bigger impact than you know.
4. You are exactly where you are meant to be.
Sometimes you get caught up with the success of the people around you and then you beat yourself as a failure. You’re not. You are exactly where you are meant to be, to learn what you need to learn. Trust in the moment, trust in yourself.
5. Feel the fear, but do it anyway.
“The fear we don’t face become our limits.”
6. Embrace the comeback.
Spend no more time asking God why doors have been closed. Instead be busy praising God for doors that are about to open.
7. Do what you love and opportunities will come.
If you do the things you love and are passionate about, opportunities (and income) will come.
8. Surround yourself with the right people.
The right people will lift you up and motivate you. Clean out all the energy-draining people in your life.
9. Life is all about the journey, not the destination.
Often times we get so focused on our big dreams and goals, that we forget to enjoy the journey called life. Remember, life is always about the moment. Enjoy it.
10. There is no such thing as mistakes. Only lessons we need to master.
11. Believe in yourself, or nobody will.
If you see yourself as dust, don’t expect others to see you as gold. People will treat you based on the way you treat yourself.
12. Don’t resist change. It’s the main source of your growth.
Don’t focus on what you have to give up. Focus on what you are about to gain.
13. In relationships, even in life in general: What you allow is what will continue.
Know your value and what you have to offer. Never settle for anything less than what you deserve.
14. Drink more water. It literally solves a lot of problems.
Wanna lose weight? Drink water. Clear face? Drink water. Tired of your man? Drown him 😛 (kidding) But yes, thank God we have water.
15. Say a prayer for the people around you. Even to strangers.
I always say a prayer in my head for people I bump into or pass by too. I believe it truly makes a difference.
17. Spend time in nature to renew and refuel.
Unplug yourself from the digital world and spend time in nature. Let your thoughts wander.
18. Never underestimate the investment you make in yourself.
Make yourself a priority. At the end of the day, it’s the best investment you can make.
19. A grateful heart is a magnet for miracles.
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It helps us see what is there instead of what isn’t.
20. When something feels off, it is.
Your intuition knows the way and what you should do next.
21.You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
Respect that not everyone thinks the way you do. There is always something to be learned from everyone.
22. Empowered women empower other women.
“Girls compete. Women empower.”
23. Set boundaries for yourself and keep them.
Love yourself enough to set boundaries. You have a right to self-care.
