I "Things I'Ve Learned"

1. Sometimes you have to accept that no matter how hard you try, some things aren’t meant to be.
2. That being said, people succeed for the most part because they really want something.
3. Money is very important.
4. Your health, more so.
5. Keep yourself happy first, charity starts with yourself - then all else will fall into place.
6. Life is nothing more than a series of phases, don’t ever get too comfortable. Enjoy the good phases as much as you can, know that it won’t last. Ride the bad phases as best as you can, this too won’t last.
7. Be authentic with yourself and those around you, try not to sweat the small stuff.
8. Time is a great perspective pill.
9. In the end, it’s love and kindness that counts. Friends and family will leave you, move on, die, times will change, but their feelings about who you are, and yours about them, won’t.
10. It’s important to be silly at times. Joy in everyday things is one of the most valuable things and a positive, elastic mindset will keep your brains fresh for longer.
11. Just be a decent human being, it’s not that hard.

1. If there is a disparity between what people say and what they do, assume what they do is who they truly are.

2. Be yourself. Not everyone will like you. That's ok, for there will be people who do like you and you won't have to conform to find friends and romantic partners.

3. Trust yourself.

4. Go after what you want and what you need, for nobody will give you such things, you must go out and get them yourself.

5. Take the time to nurture relationships that you value. You never know when you will need them to be there for you.

6. Social media is bullshit. Take the time to engage with people in the real world. Those interactions do not compare to the interactions online. It's like the difference between fast food and a home cooked meal. They do not compare.

*Before blaming others look to see what you could done

I've learned that a lot of the things I learned are bullsh*t in this day and age and I have to relearn everything all over again LOL

People don't change, until they do. And the universe doesnt care.
