25 THINGS I HAVE LEARNED IN MY 20'S

Just celebrated my birthday the other day (3rd of February) and this time decided to go 'hush hush' and held no bash for it. Instead, after my evening CopyrightX class [which is a topic for another day] I ignored all those coffee/Cocktails invites and headed straight home. I served some food that was not all junk, poured myself a glass of sweet white wine and a bar of chocolate and I went down memory lane, contemplating about this so called life. I am not saying I am done learning, like most of us I still have a lot to learn, but so far this is what life has taught me.


1.  IT'S OKAY TO GROW APART WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES . It is really difficult to predict which friend will stick with you and which won't. There are those friends who when you go away for along time it feels like nothing has changed..and those that when you come back it feels like everything has changed. Its part of life, I embrace it.

2.  TO BE MY TOP PRIORITY without putting anyone down. To always put my wishes/needs first, nourish my own soul, understand the value of my own happiness and how it affects every aspect of my life.

3.  TIME IS INDEED AND TRULY MY BEST ASSET...Money/Possessions come and go, time just goes.......


4.  ITS OKAY TO FAIL. Even the greatest people of the world have experienced failure. Its how I handle those failures and how quickly I pick myself up that really matters.


5.  NOT EVERYONE IS GOING TO LIKE ME. Which I find a 1000% okay because 1. It impossible to like everybody and 2. I too do have a bunch of people that I don't like'.



 6.  ITS OKAY TO BE WHO I AM and not have it figured out. Pressure has and will always be there from those in my life expecting me to know exactly what I am doing in life. The truth is that there are no rules that say you have to have it all figured out at a certain age and I know I am not alone because I feel most people are just working off  of their best guesses.

7.  NO ONE GIVES A S#$@T ABOUT ME. This might seem and sound like a bad thing but its actually true. When most people ask 'how have you been?, they don't  necessarily mean to get a breakdown of your problems. Just say 'am fine' and move on with life.

8.  I DON'T GET TO EAT WHATEVER I WANT because losing weight is exponentially hard than gaining it. (to me)

9.  PEOPLE IN MY LIFE WILL DISAPPOINT ME and I learned to rely on myself. I can actually do a lot of things by myself.

10. HATERS GONNA HATE AND AIN'T US WILL REMAIN AIN'T US (try saying this with an English accent,, My point exactly)



 11. TO ALWAYS TRUST MY INSTINCT ... if something is too good to be true, it probably isn't.


12. THE BENEFITS OF WORKING OUT.. It not only helps me to clears my mind, relax and meet new people but it also helps me stretch muscles, fight unforeseen ailments and most importantly, stay in shape.

13. THE COMPANY DOES NOT LOVE ME. It does not have a heart, I am replaceable the reason why I should always have my parachute ready.Toxic Work Places

14. TO LIVE IN THE LIGHT OF ETERNITY. I am a true believer of  the Holy Trinity and that there is nothing on this earth that can compare with the eternal joy of heaven.
He Is My Ideal Man

15. FAMILY IS VERY IMPORTANT.Friends/acquaintances come and go but my family has always been here with me. They've got my back.

16. I AM NOT MY JOB, I am not my bank roll and neither am I my possessions.

17. CHEAP IS NOT ALWAYS EXPENSIVE. I no longer take money for granted because I know how hard it is to earn it. Right now I know the importance of getting good bargains and shopping for less.Money Problems

18. THE POWER OF COMPLIMENT. Giving appropriate compliment to those who truly deserve them even if I don't know them. Nothing brightens a persons day more. I like to think we are all a little better off when someone has a reason to smile.  

19. LESS IS MORE. 

20. I AM WHAT I EAT. That Junk food is really junk and home cooked meals are the best.




21.  HUMILITY. Never to look down on others just because they are not blessed with the same things as me.

22. LOVE IS A COMMITMENT, it hurts but not as much as not loving.

23. TO STOP COMPLAINING. I either change the situation, change my perception or learn how to deal with a situation.

24. TO ALWAYS SET REALISTIC GOALS based on my strengths. Most disappointments in life come from unmet expectations.

25. LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE.
