As I celebrate my 27th birthday I can’t help but think about all of the life lessons I’ve learned in my 27 years. My twenties have been full of growth, milestones, and so many blessings. I’ve experienced life as a new grad, wife, mother, entrepreneur, daughter, friend, and so much more. So today I’m sharing 10 life lessons I’ve learned so far, and hopefully you find some value from it:
Don’t mind what people think
Oh, the things I could have accomplished growing up if I didn’t care what people thought about me. If I cared about what people thought about me as a content creator or influencer I wouldn’t be building an entire brand and business right now. Remember that people can judge all they want but at the end of the day it’s your happiness/financial freedom/etc. on the line.
A selfish mindset is… well, selfish.
Society is currently praising people for being selfish and taking no one else into consideration but themselves and calling it self care. I think there’s a healthy balance of doing what you need to in order to grow emotionally and mentally. But don’t neglect the people around you. Because you’re going to need them someday. People won’t always remember every kind thing you do for them but they will remember all the times you hurt or ignore them.
The first month of anything is the hardest… Keep going
When I first started my job as an ultrasound tech I was 21, newly graduated, and a coworker had it out for me and told my boss she didn’t think I knew what I was doing. So they placed me under supervised training and treated me as if I was a student again. I was horrified and it completely tore down my confidence. I even went as far as applying to college again and took steps to make a career change. Yes, I know. A tad dramatic. But it does feel like the end of the world when you’re in the moment. Stand your ground. Keep at it and I promise you you’ll get the hang of whatever it is you believe you’re meant to do. And if you decide it’s not for you, that’s ok too. But give it time first.
Don’t be afraid to say “I miss you” and “I love you”
People will always come and go. People change, they grow, and life happens. You’ll lose people in your circle and welcome new ones. But if you’ve had a falling out with someone or if you just haven’t spoken to someone in a while and you miss them, just tell them. Chances are they probably miss you too. Life is too short and you might rekindle a relationship that meant a lot to both of you.
And tell the people you love that you love them. I don’t think people say it enough.
God’s got your back
And you can always rely on Him to provide. There has never been a difficult situation I’ve been in where God didn’t show that He had a plan all along. With a little faith and a lot of prayer, things will always work themselves out and in His time.
And that’s that. I hope you found a little bit of wisdom in this post! Now excuse me while I go and cheers to 27 years!
