27 Lessons I've Learned in 27 Years
I’m 27.
WOW.
Only 3 years from 30. Time is flying. I’m still processing that I’m a parent of a one year old, but to think that I’m in my LATE twenties now is CRAZY. It feels surreal every year I get older to think about where I came from to where I am now. All I can do is thank GOD for the life that I have and the things I have experienced to get to this point.
To celebrate this new age, I thought it would be nice and fun to share all the lovely lessons I’ve learned over the years in hopes that these lessons can be learned earlier rather than later for you.
Let’s get started,
Your past shouldn’t define you and you shouldn’t let it.
Spend as much time as possible with the people you love
Stop rushing to get to the next stage, enjoy the stage you’re in because one day you’re going to miss the benefits of the stage that you’re in right now.
Grass is always greener, remember that
Your life is your own, figure out what you want to do with it.
Let those friends go… no need to chase people who clearly don’t want you
Spend your money wisely, if you don’t know how to, please don’t get a credit card
Save as much as you can
Eat food that fuels your soul
Make the first move, never know what will come from it
Apply to jobs you wouldn’t mind working.
Money is nice but if you hate your job, it will only keep you happy temporarily
Go to church
Read the Bible
Join a life group
Listen to music that makes you feel good
Don’t use the term friend so loosely, if there is no reciprocation, that’s no friendship
Date, it’s fun.
Travel and experience the world around you
Make time for those who make time for you
Don’t doubt your abilities.
Stop listening or caring about what others think about you
Be the best mom you can be
Do what makes you happy
Speak up. If you don’t you can only be mad at yourself
Make self-care mandatory in your life
Listen to your gut.
