Recently I have been pushing myself to take the time to reflect, write down and share with you all lessons these past 21 years have taught me.
- Cherish the ones you love, they can be gone in the blink of an eye.
- Paradise is not a place, its a state of mind.
- Love is the greatest gift you can give.
- Don't judge people, everyone has their own stories and struggles.
- Be honest with yourself and with others.
- Don't talk bad about someone, it only reflects on the person you are.
- Respect is not given, it is earned.
- Do what makes you happy, not what society or your peers want you to do.
- Always be kind, everyone is facing their own battles.
- Trust takes a long time to build and can be broken in seconds.
- Always go with yourself, never against yourself.
- Free yourself from negative people.
- Words can hurt just as much as actions.
- Give compliments often, it can transform someone's day.
- Your heart is your best compass.
- Relationships are meant to help you, not hurt you.
- Lies only exist if we believe them.
- Jealousy and insecurity are ugly and will eat up your own beauty.
- Always smile, it can open many opportunities.
- Always tell the ones you love that you love them.
- Have confidence in yourself.
I encourage you all to take a moment and reflect on your own life lessons and share this with your friends, family, co-workers or blog audience. You never know who needs to hear one of these lessons to help get them through their day.
