Today I'm 28. Another wonderful year has passed! So many memories, so many wonderful, unforgettable experiences! I'm thankful for each and every one of them! :)
Last year on my 27th birthday I wrote a post called "The lessons of a 27 year old" (here: http://tinyurl.com/h76q97l). Today I wrote another one on the same topic but without previously reading the last one. Then I compared them to see what has changed in this past year. Interestingly enough, some lessons stayed the same, proof that I strongly believe in them and that I still need to work on those. I'm learning every day, just like you.
My personal life goal is to reach wisdom that I can use in order to make the world a better place. So I'm starting small. Here are this year's (28) life lessons:
2. Parts of you will change along the years but you won't change completely. Take it like this: you are a catterpillar transforming into a butterfly. Good change, right?
3. Your habits will get in the way of some changes you want to make but don't let them hold you back! Plan, plan, plan and take it slow. Rome wasn't built in a day.4. You will achieve all your dreams if you reaaaally believe in them and constantly keep thinking about them.
5. Do good and it will come back multiplied. But don't do it for the outcome, do it because you can and because the world needs it!
6. Don't take your loved ones for granted! Say I love you, thank you and ask for forgiveness when it is the case.
7. You have to learn from your mistakes. Not just say you will but actually do it.
8. Have a personal project - hobby related- and stick to it in your free time. It will make your days brighter.
9. Believe that the Universe answers to your questions or prayers when you need it the most. Just keep your eyes open to receive the message.
10. Love: truly. deeply. madly. Like a child. Everything and anything.
11. Forgive. Don't hold grudges.
12. Don't take it personally when someone criticises something you've done. Most of the times they just have a bad day and you're in their way.
13. Take time to relax. Go sit down on a bench, close your eyes and listen the world around you.
14. Solutions. Think of them in the critical moments. Take deep breaths and think of what you can do instead of becoming a headless chicken.
15. Be flexible. If things don't go exactly according to your plan change the plan.
16. Read. As much as you can. Anything you like. Find time: at night. in the morning before work, on the bus, in the park or anywhere else. 17. Find happiness in the small things.
18. Count your blessings every day!
19. Society will pressure you into doing a lot of things you might not be ready for. Don't listen. Do them at your own pace. A child is a huge responsibility and you have to be mentally ready for it, so have one when you feel prepared.
20. Eat regularly. Make plans in the weekend for the following week. Cook at home instead of eating out a lot and don't be afraid to try new recipes. There are a ton of recipes out there!
21. Make your dear ones happy by surprising them with little things they like.
22. People will judge no matter what you do. Don't mind them. Do your thing. They'll forget eventually anyway.
23. Spirituality is good and helpful. And remember: tolerance is the key.
24. Some friends will drive you nuts sometimes but still love them and remember why you are friends in the first place. Nevertheless, if they bring you down more than lift you up then move along. They aren't the ones you need.
25. Exercise. If you do it in the morning before going to work you will feel full of energy later on.
26. Accept yourself and love yourself first and then the others will accept and love you too.
27. Go out once in a while like you used to in your early 20s. It will do you good.
28. Make the difference between urgent and important and be careful how you divide your time.
