4 Important Lessons Learnt In 24 Years

Two weekends ago I turned 24! It’s sooooo crazy how fast time flies by, right? Birthdays and new years always seem to be the two times when people reflect on their life the most. I say let’s make the most out of it while we're still young, talented and creative ( you know what I'm saying!)

Let me share my wisdom on the 4 most important lessons I’ve learnt in 24 years. I’m sure the feeling could be mutual and that there are a few you could resonate with

1. Don’t be that girl

Yeah, don’t be the girl (the bitchy girl). Also, they say don’t be the girl who needs a man. Be the girl a man needs. Women / ladies need to own up to their value, standards and morals. And no, I’m not saying have sky high standards as it plays out to be a little too unrealistic.

The only time we have is now. So why not be confident, classy and smart? In other words gym your ass off, dress well and read a lot of books.

2. Find your tribe

Firstly and most importantly surround yourself with positive, smart and humble human beings . Be around those who are eager to play a role in the good, the bad and of course in your wildest dreams.

3. Challenge yourself emotionally, physically and mentally

The most rewarding lessons come from the most uncomfortable places. Make time or have the ability to build and maintain fulfilling relationships. We’re not meant to survive, let alone thrive, in isolation. Our social brains crave companionship - even when experiences have made us shy and distrustful of others. Gain self-confidence and know how to deal with stress, pressure or being constantly irritated.

Challenge yourself by finding a sense of contentment and a positive attitude.

4. Stop playing the victim

I had this really bad habit and tendency of playing the victim in circumstances I created. I have learnt that I need to be mature and needed to change the way I think and behave in a negative environment or situation. I needed to manage my anger and take the responsibility for failures or rejection. Give yourself a break and decide to love yourself. Grow within yourself and remember to forgive. Always forgive.

” You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” — Gautama Buddha.
