My hope in sharing these tidbits is that you let them sink down deep and are encouraged to live your best life, from this moment forward.
28 Things I Learned In My 28th Year
- It IS best to give out what you want in return (like the golden rule : treat others as you want to be treated).
- Allow yourself to feel every emotion as you are feeling it.
- Time does not heal all wounds, the work you put in during that time is what heals your wounds.
- Asking for forgiveness does not mean they must forgive.
- Forgive freely.
- You are responsible for you + only you.
- Accept criticism as a tool to increase your knowledge.
- Learn well.
- Learn often.
- Love well.
- Love often.
- Take excellent care of yourself : physically, spiritually + emotionally.
- Shame is a dirty trickster.
- Humility is the opposite of pride.
- A thankful heart is a happy heart.
- Self-control is vital to growth.
- The storms of life are inevitable : persevere!
- No one is exempt from hardship.
- Take notes from giant sequoias and gather community to interlock roots with so that when storms do come, you have deep support to help you make it through.
- Depression + anxiety are no joke.
- Give up on escaping.
- When approaching conflict, always use a gentle start up without pointing fingers. Remember when you point there are always 3 fingers pointing back at you.
- Celebrate with those who are celebrating and weep with those who are weeping.
- If you have a "fixer" personality, remember that not everyone wants to be viewed as a problem who needs fixing.
- You have the power to make + do + be great things.
- Always have something to look forward to.
- Sharing IS caring.
- It's easier to give advice than to take your own and live it out, darn it!
Wishing you health, wealth + happiness,
