6.14.13.
In thinking about what to write to commemorate this "milestone" in my life, I stumbled across a fabulous article by Young & Prosperous...I really liked this take on beginning a new chapter in my life.
So, I will attempt to share 25 things I've learned before (I have half an hour left!) I finally turn the quarter "mile"...just a disclaimer, some of these will be quoted as they are from Y&P....
- Be you.
- When one door closes, a window opens.
- You deserve it, whatever that may be.
- Happiness is the way.
- "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou
- Stand up for yourself.
- Don't be afraid to make mistakes. How else are we going to grow?
- DREAM.
- Without risk, there is little reward.
- Only concern yourself with the things you can control.
- There is always an opportunity to learn something.
- Hug, kiss, say ILY everyday to someone; it's easy to take these things for granted.
- Karma IS a bitch, so be nice.
- Laugh everyday--it's good for the heart, soul, body, mind...& it reduces wrinkles right?
- Appearance is only temporary; your personality & first impression(s) last forever.
- Save, save, save! Your future self will thank you :)
- Confront your fears. Do one thing everyday that scares you.
- "Happiness is the way."
- I am a goddess. I need to worship and love myself before I can reciprocate it to others.
- "Be the type of person you'd like to meet."
- It's ok to JUST DANCE.
- Mom's really are always right...as much as we/I don't want to admit it. #itoldyaso
- Running moves you forward, but sometimes you just got to stop and smell the roses.
- Life is good.
- Believe that everything happens for a reason!
I am sure there are so many other things that I've learned...but in these 30 minutes, theses were the 25 that came to mind first :) I would love to hear what you feel are the most important life lessons you've learned in your lives!
Here's a little sneak peek of a little birthday present to myself. I've always wanted one but could not convince myself to dish out the $$ for any of the colors until now! ...& my bff just purchased the Mini M.A.C.! Uber in love with this...I can't wait to use this today! Happy Birthday to me :)
Even Google said "Happy Birthday" :)
