So here's 27 things I've learned.
1. Only you are in control of your happiness and emotions.
2. Nothing worth having in life is handed to you on a plate.
3. You have to work hard to achieve your dreams.
4. Your dreams and goals do not happen over night, but they are worth working for.
5. Family is by far, one of the greatest gifts in the world.
6. When you're entire life changes in an instant, mainly based on your choice or the actions and choices of others, just know, you WILL be okay.
7. Life continues to go on and Time begins to heal everything and soften hearts.
8. It is important to forgive yourself for all the poor choices and mistakes you have made in your life. No one is perfect and you are loved and amazing.
9. Make sure you find the good in each day.
10. Try not to allow your happiness to be controlled by the opinions of others, no matter how hard it maybe.
11. Learn to love yourself. Flaws and all.
12. This life that has been given to you, it is a gift. Try not to waste each day by doing things that do lift you up.
13. Keep your 'garden weeded'. Negative influences really do drag you down and keep you from progressing.
14. Forgive those who hurt you and love them unconditionally, even if they don't love you back.
15. Make sure you take time for yourself each day.
16. Nurture your spirit. When the soul doesn't feel at rest, your entire mood can be affected.
17. Be kind to yourself and to your heart.
18. Find a balance in your life. A balance between people, friends and family. A balance between work and social and spiritual. Having a balance makes life so much easier and more enjoyable.
19. Have a few close friends in your circle. Make sure they only lift you up and direct you toward your goals and toward uplifting things.
20. Don't be afraid, no matter how hard and scary it may seem, to let go of things that no longer lift you or serve you a positive purpose. You are only hurting yourself by hanging on.
21. Have a good relationship with God. And Have faith in Him, His timing, and His plan.
22. Don't get so caught up on superficial things that you forget about what's most important.
23. Instant Gratification is a selfish desire. One that I sought out on a daily basis, up until about a few months ago. It only causes temporary happiness that fades and leaves you wanting more of something or leaves you feeling empty once the 'happiness' is gone.
24. Write in a journal. It's always neat to go back and reread things. Sometimes I learn things from entries I wrote, 3 years prior.
25. Always find something to be grateful for.
26. Tell your loved ones how much you love them.
27. Try to be the best person you can be each and everyday.
