Happy Thursday, Its been a busy day, I meant to post this earlier today
but time really flies when your having a crazy day at work.
I wanted to share 20 things that I have learned over the last year
Some of these things are a no brainer..
but sometimes its good to reiterate, list and really take a look at the things we go through in life
and actually reflect on what we learn from them
you will be surprised at what you have learned once you really think about it.
Some of these things you would think you already know
however.... lessons are learned by trial and error.
Therefore these things I know...
1. I am who I am. Strong, Passionate, Meek, and Love to Love and for this I do not apologize!2. I don't have to listen. nor do I have to take any one's advise. that includes my Mommas advise too!
I gotta to do what I think is best for me!
3. Lip service is just a game. meaning... Talk is cheap - when people tell me what they want and gonna do I know its just talk! Actions speak louder than words! I learned this the hard way - of course.
4. The Key to my Peace and success is through My Lord and Savior! having a personal relationship with God is my ultimate peace of mind - and I want to pursue more time in meditating and praying and reading the
Bible..because the Bible is my ultimate guide for life. Although he talks to me in other ways too.
5. My Gut. Never steers me wrong. It's that woman's intuition / instinct is the greatest GPS.. yep!
6. Toxic people. We all have our own path to follow in life and sometimes along this journey we come across takers. you know.. those people who never give anything positive.. but like to drain you from all your goods.. whether its tangible or intangible.. It's okay to cut them out of your everyday life.
7. Nobody is perfect, therefore I will allow myself to make mistakes because that is how I learn.
8. Dance to my own beat. There is no way I can please everyone. It is impossible to do. so I'm gonna glide through my encounters with people at my own pace. I mean I notice this is what everyone else is doing right? Its less stressful this way.
9. I am 100% grown!
10. Love to experience new things... whether its just a new city.. to new food. ... I will try anything once... and I get so excited about it!
11. I always surprise myself at how damn smart I am. Sometimes I come across completely clueless. However I am as smart and as quick as a whip..
12. learn to accept people for who they are. take the bad with the good and love them just the same... no one is perfect.
13. Good friends and I don't take the word Friend lightly.. are very hard to find. When you have a Good friend Cherish and nurture that relationship.. because its truly priceless
14. Its okay to love hard and let that emotion show to the best of YOUR ability.
15. You can't please everyone. it's impossible
16. I can usually smell BS a mile away... I dont always let on that I smell it... but the stench is pretty clear to me as soon as it walks into the room.
17. Keep your enemies Far and your friends closer. not vice verse. Your enemies dont need to know what you are doing.
18. One of the biggest hardest and best accomplishments is giving birth and raising children. They're beautiful!!!!!
19. Not everything stays the same... the Phrase "nothing changes" really bothers me. Things change if you change the way you think. hard to do but very possible
20. Dont dwell on what you can not change...keep going. look forward never backwards..
What are some things that you have learned?

ReplyDeleteNot to mention thought provoking !
Well now that I am proudly in my 40's I have learned a number of things.
1. I have learned that you never stop learning.
2. I have learned to be patient with myself.
Which ultimately means not to be so hard on myself.
To realize that I'm not perfect. I'm not a perfect mom,
I'm not a perfect wife. I'm simply a human being.
Working through my life like every other person walking the face of this earth.
3. I have learned that prayer does work. Does not matter who your higher power is. What matters is that you believe in a higher power that guides your mind and soul in the direction of faith and goodness.
That the faith you develop keeps you humble, keeps your heart open to loving yourself and others.
4. I've learned that raising my child is the most important thing that I will do in my life.
5. I too have learned that real friends are hard to come by.
I have many associates. I have very few people in my life that I call "friend". A friend is someone that even after not seeing them for many years, when you do see them you pick up right where you left off. No awkwardness , just realness.
No moments of dead silence, just deep conversation and lots of laughter. No aires , just happiness to see each other.
No envy, just heartfelt admiration. I have learned to be the
the best friend I can be. I have learned that I am an awesome friend.
6. I have learned that every day I wake up is an opportunity to be a better woman.
7. Life is precious, and life isn't promised just look at the news. Be grateful .Be humble.
Thank you J
I LOVE IT!! Thank you!!
