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.
