It feels like I was born just the other day, but it’s always amazing to reflect on the different (not drastically) lives I’ve seemed to live so far based on experiences over the years.
Here’s my most recent compilation of lessons completed or in progress thus far!
Your life is a living testimony. Miracles happen every day and it’s important to see God’s hand working to be grateful for it in the moment; it makes life full.
Absolutely no one cares. Everyone is the main character in their own life, it ain’t about you boo.
Whatever your truth is, you must live it boldly. Knowing the reason for your choices means you’re better equipped to deal with the positive or negative outcomes/ consequences.
You are only responsible for yourself. Everyone isn’t where you are and that’s okay- don’t waste time getting irritated at what you can’t control.
It’s still okay to not know. Sometimes I have to remind myself there isn’t such a thing as ‘running out of time’.
Solo time is irreplaceable. Truly loving all parts of yourself means sitting in discomfort too and it can be so rewarding.
Always save a piece of you for yourself.
You don’t have to explain all of your choices to anyone, even family/ close friends. Just do you!
It’s okay to change your mind. When more information is presented to you to make a new decision it’s okay if that’s different from your initial decision.
You can break your own rules. Sometimes rules become outdated and no longer apply to the new version of yourself.
Sometimes you are the villain in someone else’s story. Give yourself grace to accept your past actions and keep it pushing.
Everything doesn’t always have to make sense at the moment to work out. If a thought keeps recurring, you should pay attention.
Being able to remember your dreams is a way to connect to your subconscious. You literally have all you need within you.
As Shadow said, ‘everybody is somebody; nobody is nobody’. Give people the benefit of the doubt & be respectful.
No one knows everything. Be teachable.
Mind your business. No, seriously.
Eat your greens. 10 year older you will thank you.
Change really is constant. Nothing is wrong with being sentimental (I definitely am), but please roll with the punches.
When it's your time, it's your time. Be consistent and clap for others in the interim.
Everything is love. Try to make that the basis of your actions, big or small.
It’s important to realise the people who are in your life for a good time versus a long time. Prioritise accordingly.
It really is less stressful to just put things back in their place so you don’t feel overwhelmed when you clean. Remember a cluttered space can influence a cluttered mind.
‘Whether you think you can or you can’t- you’re right’. Identify exactly what you want for yourself and go after it.
Your body usually knows. Listen to it.
Gopaul luck is not Seepaul luck. We all walk a different path to experience glory on our journey.
HR’s priority is HR. Read between the lines.
Write it down! You can’t remember everything, especially in this day and age.
Time in itself is infinite, but we are finite. Don’t obsess over timelines because at the end of the day, His timing is never wrong.
Being productive is much healthier than being busy. And sometimes productivity looks like rest.
Having a go-to little black dress, shoe, simple beat, fragrance can reduce stress in a stressful moment and is also a simple way to be put together. These things should reflect your personal style because clothing etc is also a way you communicate with the world.
There’s a thin line between small talk and commenting on things that do not concern you. Find the line and don’t cross it.
Automation is a sure way to feel like you’re winning in this adulthood thing. We’re all winging it, but the convenience of automation can help with feeling as if you have some aspect of your life together.
