1. You can’t control everything.
As much as we would like to be able to control everything that happens in our life, it’s just not possible. Curveballs are going to constantly be thrown at us and rather than stressing about it, you have to learn to just take things one step at a time.
2. It’s okay to be selfish.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with putting yourself first from time to time. While it’s a great thing to take care of others, you also have to take care of yourself.
3. You will drift apart from close friends.
Sometimes life gets crazy and you get pulled in separate directions. But that doesn’t mean that you don’t still care about them.
4. It’s okay to cut people out of your life.
Don’t feel guilty about cutting toxic people out of your life. No matter who they are, you do not need to make time for people who have hurt you.
5. Don’t let money control your life.
While obviously money is important, don’t let it completely control your life. Your time and how you spend it will always be more valuable than money.
6. Enjoy the little things.
Enjoy the little things in life, they could turn out to be a lot bigger than you think.
7. Don’t worry about what other people think.
Don’t let the fear of what others might think stop you from being who you are. People will love you for who you are, and those are the only people who truly matter.
8. It’s important to be able to let go.
Dwelling on things that did not go your way will only make you feel worse. It’s important to be able to shrug it off and keep moving forward.
9. Don’t be afraid to speak your mind.
Your opinion does matter and you don’t need to be scared to voice it.
10. Life is not a race.
We only get one life and our time is limited. Enjoy every moment and don’t rush through it. You don’t want to look back on your life and wonder why you spent so much of it wishing something else was happening or that you were more successful than you were in that moment. Someday you will be exactly where you are meant to be and doing exactly what you are meant to be doing. But don’t rush to find that someday. It will come when the time is right. Until then, enjoy the moment that you are living in now.
