So I've been thinking about the past 23 years of my life and how much I have learned throughout that time. I know, you have seen many of these. However, I feel that you get a new life lesson when you read a new list about life lessons. Here are my 23 Life Lessons I Have Learned Through My 23 Years Of Life:

1. Be genuine.

I know this is one of the corniest things you could hear but it is true. I understand how hard it is to fit in and try to be someone you're not. Trust me, it's a lot harder if you fake who you really are.

2. Be there for people and do it out of love.

I love when I have those friends who come to me when they know I need someone to lean on. I will do the same for anyone of my friends and anyone I don't know.

3. Remember people names and things about them.

This is a simple one to forget as we are all busy in life, but I promise, it will make any person's day. I enjoy my conversations with my customers at Walgreens because they remember things about me.

4. Smile more and laugh always.

Literally, it could make you live longer. I am just saying.

5. Do the things you love to do but take risks at the same time.

Still working on this one, but I think it is a life lesson that everyone needs to listen to.

6. Laugh at yourself once in awhile.

Embarrassing things will happen to you, but they happen to everyone else. Don't ever forget that!

7. Do what ever makes you happy and never allow others to stop you.

This one is simple to do, just do what ever makes you happy.

8. Never give on your dreams.

Your dreams are there for a reason. They are your passion and it pushes where you need to be in life.

9. Everything happens for a reason.

Cliché has it sounds it is true, you are in the place you are supposed to be in now.

10. Live by what you believe in.

Many people have different values, views, and perspectives of life; however, it does not mean you have to go against yours.

11. Understand that you are not invincible because you are not.

You are not and you will never be.

12. Live life as if you could die the next day.

This life lesson I think is a pretty straightforward one, I feel.

13. Always play hard but always work harder

I mean, never slack off in your job as everyone watches you and people know when you are doing a good job.

14. Mental Health is an important item in your life.

Take time for yourself and make sure that you are okay. Don't overload yourself.

15. Ask for help when you need it.

People do not expect you to be a superhuman... it's not possible.

16. Be selfish once in awhile.

It's okay to be selfish! People understand sometimes and they will give it to you.

17. Say no when you want too.

You can't say yes to everything, so start saying it when you can and learn how to.

18. Know who your real friends are.

The people who are your real friends will love you for you. They won't ask you to change or anything like that.

19. Listen to your friends and understand what they are trying to tell you.

Your friends do care enough to look out for you, even if you do not want to hear it.

20. Drink water.

Just saying, keep yourself hydrated.

21. Excercise.

You want to keep yourself healthy for awhile. Exercising can do that for a person.

22. Take sleep seriously.

Also, who doesn't like a good night sleep?

23. Have fun in life!

Trust me, you should have fun and not take life seriously all the time.

I hope you enjoy reading my life lessons!
