28 Lessons Life Has Taught Me

Hello lovers,

So today is my birthday. (Thank you, thank you. You can stop clapping now)

As this day crept up, I began to think back on the years I've lived and I had the urge to write down 28 lessons I've learned from and about life so far. I realize that I am a product of love and I am so blessed to have great relationships in  my life. I am thankful for the attitude God has blessed me with and for the lessons I have learned. Even though some lessons were hard to learn and some are still a work in progress, I wanted to share them with hopes that it would help my future self and possibly help someone out there. 

These are in no particular order, and most of them will definitely sound cliché.

1. Love yourself fiercely. The ability to do this enables you to receive love from the world and to also give love into the world.
2. You do not owe anything to anybody. Trying to please humans will get you nowhere. In all do you, ask yourself: "what will Jesus do?"
3. Always put God first. (I should move this to the top, but remember I told you these are in no particular order. Lol)
4. Embrace Failures. They can be stepping stones to bigger and better things than you initially planned for.
5. Don't be too hard on yourself. Eat the cookie.
   
   
   
   
   
6. Quality over quantity always, except when it comes to buying nail polishes. Lol.. Just kidding.
7. Marry the man that shows and tells you that you're his good thing (Proverbs 18:22). 
8. If it's not good food, don't even bother managing it. Life is too short to eat bad meals.
9. You can cook, and you can love doing it. Plus, you will end up saving money if you do. 
10. Take responsibility. It's a fast route to self-improvement.
11. Impossible is nothing. You can do so much if you're determined. If you want it, go for it.
    
    
    
    
    
12. Cultivate a habit of saving and pay your tithes.
13. If you want to get something done (right), you will most likely have to do it yourself (DIY pun intended).
14. You are blessed. Count your blessings.
15. What is worth doing at all is worth doing well. Deliver more than you're paid to do. 
16. Never say never
17. Write ideas down. Write plans down. Write everything down before you forget. Seeing it written or typed out also helps to keep you accountable.
    
    
    
    
    
18. Set measurable and realistic goals. 
19. Detach yourself from electronics once in a while. Allow yourself the time to just be, reflect, plan, energize and relax. 
20. This too shall pass. Whatever it is. 
21. No one you meet in life is a mistake. Learn from failed relationships and nurture great friendships.
22. Laugh. Laugh till you cry. Laugh till your belly hurts. Call the people that make you laugh. Do the things that make you laugh. Watch the things that make you laugh.
    
    
    
    
    
23. Google everything and anything. There is so much you can learn for FREE. There is something in you that can make you great if you seek for and nurture it. 
24. Watch foreign movies, especially K-dramas. There is something quite intriguing about them. 
25. Say I Love You and mean it.
26. Pray always
27. Do new things and visit new places. 
28. Never stop being creative or inspired. Use your hands, use your imagination, make moves so that your future self will thank you. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Can you guess how old I am based on these lessons? The hint is in the list *wink*
