This post is pretty simple and straightforward. This Wednesday I’m celebrating my 26th birthday (eeeeeek!) and with that being said, here are 26 pearls of wisdom.
- No one has “it” figured out.
- Things don’t just happen, you must be intentional.
- You won’t always have the metabolism of your High School self.
- Knowing how to cook will go a long way.
- Faith is key, as well as being grounded in your beliefs.
- Your job does not define you.
- It’s okay to spend nights at home and even alone. Don’t let FOMO (fear of missing out) get the best of you.
- Your biggest enemy is yourself, and inaction.
- Dogs are good for the soul.
- Comparing on social media will be the death of any person’s budget.
- You will grow apart from friends over the years, but that’s okay. You’ll also grow close to new people.
- You should eat the piece of chocolate.
- Know that your word and your reputation are worth more than anything; protect it.
- Your actions speak much louder than your Facebook post.
- You can’t always get what you want.
- No matter how bad off you think you are there’s someone who has it worse.
- Everyone, at one point or another, will let you down. No one is perfect and you can’t expect them to be.
- Your vision of happiness is not the same as those you interactive with in person or on social media. Keep that in mind when you’re mindlessly scrolling on Facebook!
- If you figure out what your passion is you’re ahead of a vast majority of people on this planet.
- It’s important to surround yourself with good people.
- Money can’t buy you happiness, but it can give you comfort and stability.
- You can always count on coffee and dry shampoo!
- Being kind goes such a long way. Whether it be to your coffee barista, a friend, or someone completely undeserving, be kind!
- While biting your tongue can be difficult, trust me – it saves you a lot of trouble.
- Social media, while wonderful, can also be detrimental to relationships. Continue to make an effort to maintain relationships – in person! – and don’t rely solely on Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat.
- Love yourself. Give yourself grace. Get out of your comfort zone, and go do amazing things!
