When I set out to start writing this post, I had no idea it would be as challenging as it ended up being. Today, marks my 33rd birthday, another go around the sun and another year of lessons under my belt. I thought I would mark the occasion by creating a list of little tidbits I learned this year, that have hopefully helped me evolve into a better person. Taking time to reflect is something that I really enjoy doing, but do not ever take enough time to do so.
However, easier said than done. We go through life at such a fast pace, that I really need to learn to slow it down (hmmmm, maybe that should be tidbit number 1) and take time to soak in what the universe is trying to tell me.
So without further adieu:
1. Life goes by so fast, take time to soak in what the universe is trying to tell you (That was an easy one)
2. Sometimes "I don't know" is a better answer than "Faking it till you make it"
3. Not all ladies are here to be your friends. And that's okay.
4. It's okay to spend money on things that make you happy. Unless it causes you to go homeless.
5. Don't let others steal your joy. Don't let yourself steal it either.
6. Old friends are like old cars. Dependable, but need a lot of work to keep them running.
7. Smelly shoes should be thrown away. Regardless of how much you love them.
8. You don't have to travel far to marvel at this world that surrounds us.
9. Comfort zones should be avoided at all costs.
10. There are great men in this world. Annoying ones too.
11. Dreams never really leave us. Time teaches us to know the difference between the realistic ones an the ones that should simply stay in our hearts.
12. Success is just as important as happiness.
13. Binge watching is a totally acceptable way to spend a weekend night.
14. Humans don't last forever, but the feelings that we get from people do.
15. It's okay to miss people who are no longer in your life.
16. Sometimes, you really just gotta Elsa it, and "Let it Go"
17. On the reverse, sometimes, you really just gotta Tim Gunn it, and "Make it Work"
18. Your job should not define you.
19. A little drama is not always a bad thing. How you react in those moments define who you are meant to become.
20. Your knees are important. Keep them healthy.
21. Song and Dance breaks throughout the work day are totally acceptable. And should be done.
22. Push yourself everyday. In any way possible.
23. Facebook stalking is fun, but not advisable.
24. Your body can do more than you'd ever expect it to.
25. It's okay to be happy with where you're at.
26. But always strive for more. Not because you have to, but because you deserve it.
27. If the weather is nice. Or even if it's not, take time to spend a bit of the day outdoors.
28. Pretending to be someone you're not is silly. But in the right circumstance, fun.
29. A small group of close friends is more satisfying than a large group. And just as much work.
30. Reading before bed is better than watching a screen.
31. If you run, you're a runner.
32. Whenever possible, be a nice person.
33. Turning older is a gift. Not everyone gets the chance to do so.
