Top 10 Things I learned in 24 Years

 And so I turned 24 yesterday. I feel like it's a perfect time to sum up the learnings I had over the years.

1.       Treasure your body.

You may have all the money in the world. You may have the prettiest face on earth. You may have all the fame and success but it would mean nothing if your health is so bad that you can’t enjoy life.

2.       Bad, nasty, evil people exist.

Unfortunately, these kinds of persons really do exist. Some are so destructive that they would go out of their way to see you crumble and fall. IGNORE. STAY AWAY FROM THEM.

3.       Saying “Sorry” wouldn’t hurt.

Our ego and pride would lead us to our downfall. Humans are not even close to perfect. Admit when you did wrong and apologize. So choose to lose your pride to someone you love, instead of losing your love just to save your pride. And when I say love, it covers all the people you treasure in your life. 

4.       There is always someone better.

If you compare yourself to others, you will become vain and bitter. For there will always be someone greater or lesser persons than yourself.

5.       Happiness is not complicated.

I think we like to complicate things when it’s really simple. Find what it is that makes you happy and who it is that makes you happy and you’re set. Promise.

6.       Life is a scavenger hunt.

Sometimes you have to go through it alone. My advice would be to go through it as fearlessly as possible.

7.       People would say something whether you did well or bad.

I cannot reiterate than even more. Don’t ever, ever let the opinion of others consume you!

8.       Family/Friends = Awesome

Family doesn’t just mean people related by blood. They can also be your friends. And they are the most awesome people on earth you can have. So if you have a couple of true friends, hold on to them! They are priceless and are indeed essential to your happiness!

9.       Say a little prayer everyday.

Don’t lose faith if you think He’s not listening. Because some of God’s greatest gifts are those unanswered prayers.

10.   Dream BIG.

It’s free. Take advantage of it. Your dream will always defeat reality if you can just give it a chance.
