31 & Feeling Good...


31 things I have learned at 31…

1.   Judging is one of the hardest things to overcome.  It really is a reflection of my insecurities.  

2.     Your real friends know everything about you and still love you. And most importantly, they love you and want you to live an amazing, abundant life.

3.     I believe Karma is real. 

4.     Marriage is going to be a leap of faith.  Good thing I love to leap!

5.       Change is hard, but change is always good!

6.    It’s okay for me to take time to figure out what I really believe without worrying about what others may think!

7.    SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE THAT LOVE YOU AND WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY. NOT THE ONES THAT ARE MISERABLE themselves.

8.     Fear must be conquered. You’ll always be afraid of something, so you might as well get over it and move onto the next thing. 

9.     There are certain Books that will be a part of me forever!

10.  Listening is a gift. The emotions you feel listening to another person’s story are priceless.  It takes courage for me to tell my story.

11.  I can get through everything... My rearview mirror is full of times that I made it, usually others are there with me in the mirror.

12. Adventures should be a part of everyone’s life.

13.  I’ve learned it’s a lot harder to be mad then it is to BE HAPPY!

14. THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH WANTING TO MAKE A GREAT INCOME AND HAVE NICE THINGS. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH NOT BEING GRATEFUL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE AND THE LUXURIES YOU CAN AFFORD. BE GRATEFUL. Wealth is dependent on the point of view of the person that has it.

15.   I believe in life experiences that allow us to see who we really are and what we can learn and change by having those experiences.

16.  Men and women think differently. Learning to communicate in the opposite sex’s language is essential for success in life and business. And it goes both ways.

17.  Family time should be cherished and held near and dear to your heart. 

18.  Good manners are one of the best assets.

19.  Perspective really is a gift!

20.  COMMUNICATION IS KEY TO MOST OF LIFE’S MISUNDERSTANDINGS.

21.  I can be traditional and a feminist at the same time.

22.  Whether or not I care about someone doesn’t mean I can’t be honest with them.

23.  Living in gratitude for the things you already have is the first step to happiness. 

24.  I will always work on being my best self so I am able to give my best self to others.

25.  EDUCATION GOES SO FAR BEYOND SCHOOL (high school, College) FIND TOPICS YOU’RE PASSIONATE ABOUT AND IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THEM. NEVER STOP LEARNING.

25B. Spiritual learning has by far been the most challenging education.

26.  “Let go of what does not serve you” is a motto to live by. Relationships, careers, habits, ideas, etc. As hard as it is to let go, there’s something better waiting, and you’ll never find it if you don’t let go of what’s holding you back.

27.  Know your strengths and weaknesses. 

28.Women get better in their 30’s (and beyond).

29.  Relationships translate to connection, and connection is the meaning of life.

30.  Remember dreams can change.

31. I feel younger in spirit at 31 than I did at 25, which is pretty much really freaking exciting.
