24 Years, 24 Lessons

I have recently had my 24th birthday, I don't see it as getting old but as a gift. I am so grateful, honored and relieved to be able to add one more year to my life. So I decided to blog about 24 lessons I have learn in my life so far. Lessons that helped form and shape the person I have become.....

Don't compare your life to others because you never know what happens behind closed doors.
 
Life is too short to waste time hating anyone!
 
Don't let the past strew up your future.
 
Don't take yourself to seriously because most likely no one else does.
 
Agree to disagree is sometimes better than winning an argument.
 
Motherhood is not always easy but it's always worth it.
 
Make everyday a special day!
 
No one else is in charge of your happiness except you.
 
Forgive everyone because anger with only eat you up.
 
Who cares what others think of you, there will always be someone who thinks your wrong.
 
Miracles do happen!
 
Growing old beats the alternative.........dying young.
 
Give your children the childhood you would want them to tell their children about.
 
Don't waste your time on envy, you have all you need already.
 
If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.
 
Honesty is the only policy.
    If I could pick my family......I would pick the family I have.
     
    When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.
     It’s the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary.
     
    There is nothing to hold you back, except yourself.
     
    Trust your gut. Your brain over thinks and your heart is over emotional.
     
    Moving on means always looking forward and never looking back.
     
    Focus on the present.
     
    You don’t need as much money as you think.
     
     
    So here is to 24 years of life and hopefully many many more to come!
