20 Lessons from my 20's
Welp! Today is my last day in my 20’s.
Since I’ve been sharing a lot more about my journey lately, I wanted to take the time and really reflect back on the past decade of my life.
I started my 20’s in rehab. I ended my 20’s having built a successful, multi-6 figure business.
So, here are 20 lessons I learned from my 20s. Cliche? Kinda. But something I wanted to do anyway 🤗.
You are never too old to start following your dreams. I thought past age 25 that I was no longer capable of forging a new path. I have forged this current path I’m on and will probably forge multiple new paths in the years to come.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. People in every decade of their lives will tell you they still don’t have it ‘figured out.’ It’s what keeps life exciting.
Don’t fall in love with someone’s potential. Love someone for who they are today, not who they could be tomorrow.
When you find the person you’re meant to be with, they won’t play games. Don’t waste time on people who make you question where you stand.
Your soulmate doesn’t have to be a romantic partner. You can have multiple soulmates, and some of them will be your closest friends.
People will show you who they really are. Believe them the first time.
Don’t worry about being weird. Being weird is awesome. Be yourself, always.
Fad diets don’t work. Healing your relationship with your body image and food does.
People will love you for YOU - not your body size, your bank account, or your social status.
Fair weathered friends will come and go when it’s convenient for them. True friends will be there through all of your phases.
Failing is just another word for growing.
Prioritize your health - mental and physical - or everything else will suffer.
Spend as much time with your parents, grandparents, and loved ones as you can.
Don’t stay in a job you hate. Life is too short to spend most of your time in a cubicle.
Everyone has a story. Do not judge them based only on what you see.
People are in your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. It’s ok to outgrow people, and you can outgrow someone and still love them from afar.
Your past does not define you. Rewrite your story. Everyone loves a good plot twist.
Do not let the fear of judgement hold you back. No one doing more than you will never put you down - only someone doing less.
Strive to live a life with no regret. When you look back on your life, will you have wished you had done that thing? Then do it.
Every day is a gift. Every rainy, yucky day, my boyfriend reminds me - “some people don’t get to see this yucky, rainy day.” I try to be grateful for every day - even the yucky ones.
I’m so grateful for the experiences I went through in the past 10 years. The good, the bad, happy, sad, traumatic, exhilarating - they all created the life I have now.
So on this last day of my 20s, I am showing gratitude. Thankful for this decade. Excited for the next
