As I celebrate my 26th birthday, I can’t help but reflect on the journey so far and all the things I have learnt along the way. Here are 25 lessons I have picked up in my 25 years of life:
- Seek God now in your youth! Your future will thank you.
- Establish very clear boundaries for your life & respect them.
- Your attitude and character determines your altitude. Heal, reflect and call that therapist beloved.
- The importance of communication and effort in relationships cannot be overstated.
- Money does not bring happiness, but it does bring A LOT of stability.
- Respect & value YOUR time! You will never get it back once it’s gone.
- Remain grateful & express your gratitude to others, even for the small things.
- Stop using the term “friend” so loosely. Not everyone you encounter deserves that title.
- Take care of your health, you only get one chance at this precious thing called life, so maximize it.
- WRITE the vision and make it plain! No vision = No direction.
- Only a fool decides to stop learning, thank God you are not one.
- Your mindset & daily habits determine your trajectory in life. Where are you currently heading?
- Forgiveness will heal you from the inside out.
- “NO” is a full sentence.
- Love yourself! you can only love others from the overflow of self love.
- PRAY. Your spiritual life controls your physical experiences a lot more than you know.
- Choose your thing, and do the work to become the best at it.
- Do not underestimate the power of saying “I am sorry”.
- Let go of your past, It is too much weight to be logging around friend, forgive yourself!
- Graciously remove yourself from environments and settings that do not align with your life vision.
- Think of everything you do & say as a seed, if you are happy to receive what you are sowing then sow it.
- Stop overthinking! Take risks, Laugh often and don’t take yourself too seriously.
- Yield to the leading of the Holy Spirit, He is on your side & here to help you!
- Failing at something does not make you a failure! Take it as a learning opportunity that it is & try again.
- Comparison will steal your joy. Focus on your path & assignment.
These 25 lessons are just a snapshot of what I have learned so far, but they are the ones that have had the biggest impact on me. I am looking forward to learning more and growing as a person in the years to come, and you better believe i’ll be sharing my lessons with ya!!!
Remember Life is a journey.. enjoy the ride!
