I’ve recently turned 22 last month, and before going any more further, I want to look back and reflect what life has taught me throughout my 22 years of living. These are only few, and I still have a lot here reserved. This blog post is very personal to me. Each of the number I listed below has its story to tell which I choose not to elaborate further. I hope you can relate to a thing or two of my life’s lessons. Let’s start!
- Strive to be at your personal best everyday.
- Embrace change, take risks.
- Don’t be afraid to speak out if you have to.
- You only have one body, invest in your health, exercise, eat clean, take in vitamins.
- Learning is a never ending process.
- People come and go, and only few stays, that’s totally okay.
- Don’t compare yourself with others, you all have unique stories and nobody got the same.
- It’s okay to be different, it’s okay to not always fit in. Be yourself!
- You also have life outside work. Leave the office on time.
- Know your passion. Do what makes you happy.
- Meet new people, socialize and travel as much.
- Read books because you don’t only feed your stomach but your mind too.
- Not all people will understand you, and not all people will agree to you.
- Things you see in social media are not always true.
- It’s okay to fall, just pick yourself up and try again, and again, and again.
- Love yourself. It’s okay to be selfish sometimes. Don’t carry the burden of others because you’re already carrying your own.
- Stay away from your social media accounts when you’re at your peak.
- Save money and invest while you’re still young.
- Enjoy simplicity. Be thankful and grateful everyday.
- Learn to say no.
- Treasure your family. They’re all you have.
- Trust God, always.
