I will be turning 30 in a couple of days so here are my 30 life lessons for you!!
- Know you are a spritual being, believe in something. I personally believe in God. Whatever you believe in respect other people and their different perspectives on life. Have moral values.
2. Stay away from insecure people, they will punish you for their insecurities. Either by bullying you because they feel threatened or they will build a wall.
3. Don’t gossip it will make other people loose respect for you. Don’t talk about people behind their back. However be truthful.
4. An honest friend, telling you the bitter truth is better than a smiling enemy.
5. Love yourself, you can’t love other people if you don’t know how to love yourself.
6. Be grateful
7. Develop a healthy relationship with food.
8. Don’t compare and don’t compete
9. Don’t be envious or jealous. Don’t be friends with people that are jealous of you.
10. Family is important. It will stand the test of time.
11. Learn to speak out when something makes you unhappy. We teach people how to treat us. So speak out!
12. Act confidently. If you respect yourself other people will respect you too.
13. Fruits and vegetables are good for you. Go easy on the junk food. Your older self will thank you.
14. Peace is extremely important. Peace in your heart, peace of mind. You may need to get rid of certain things or people that don’t give you peace.
15. It’s ok to sometimes go out alone.
16. Don’t please people. Don’t make decisions to impress people. You face the consequences alone.
17. Diversify your friend group through age, race etc.
18. Platonic friendships should have an intention. Don’t entertain guys who don’t want to commit but are ready to have a good time. That’s dangerous. They will block the right ones.
19. Hook up culture is a scam. It’s ok to wait for at least three months or more with no sexual contact when dating someone. It’s even better if you can wait till marriage.
20. Sex is not love. & Love is not only expressed through sex. Don’t be loved bombed by men who want to use your body.
21. If it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t. This applies in any situation.
22. Healthy friendships bring peace, a cleansing of the mind and laughter.
23. Know yourself well. What makes you happy? What annoys you? What do you like doing? Where are you going with your life? What are your belief systems? Know yourself!
24. Don’t lower, or change your standards for a relationship. Stick to what you value. Stick to your convictions. For example: If you don’t want to have kids, be with someone who respects that. If you want them, that’s ok too, be with someone who feels the same way. If you have certain religious views be with someone who shares the same views as you. Don’t compromise on your fundamental beliefs especially if you feel strongly about something. There is a reason why you have them.
25. Never get back with an ex when you haven’t addressed the problem that made you break up.
26. Be yourself don’t be manipulated. My dad always told me this golden advice.
27. If it doesn’t feel right, it probably because it isn’t.If they don’t feel right, it could because they aren’t.
28. There is a difference between prying and caring. Learn to distinguish between the two.
29. Have hobbies that you’re good at, sometimes they can turn into careers or reliable sources of income.
30. Laziness or mindless social media scrolling will waste your time & make you unproductive. You may not feel the pinch now but you will feel the time wasted over time. A year from now or a month.
