29 Life Lessons on My 29th Birthday

Happy birthday to me!  

This is Chapter 29: EMPOWER HER STORY

This year I vow to give power to my words and amplify the voices of other women.

My only birthday wish is that you also find the strength and courage you need to embrace yourself and tell your story. 

 As I reflect on some of the life lessons that have shaped me into the woman I am today, I hope that they resonate with you too. 

29 Life Lessons  

1.     Slow down. Listen to your mind and body when they’re asking you to rest.

2.     Quit counting yourself out. Nobody is you and that is your superpower. It doesn’t matter if your market is saturated. No one can do what you do and how you do it. 

3.     Stop comparing yourself to others. Everyone’s journey is unique. 

4.     Don’t rush the process. Every step of the journey counts. Every experience is meant to teach you something

5.     Take care of yourself. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

6.     Let go! Not everything is meant to last a lifetime.

7.     Don’t take things personal.

8.     Keep trying. You’ve made it this far so don’t give up now.

9.     Believe in yourself. You don’t need a campaign when you’ve already been selected. People may not understand your purpose, but your passion will speak for itself. 

10.  Celebrate your wins. You may not be where you want to be but you’re further than you were before.

11.  It’s okay to say “No”.

12.  Be yourself. You don’t have to fake it to make it.

13.  Be present. When you’re with your loved ones, put your phone away. They deserve to have your undivided attention.

14.  Take a risk. YOLO!

15.  Life consists of chapters. Not everyone makes it to the end of your book and that’s okay.

16.  Love yourself.

17.  Tell the people you love how much you appreciate them. We all deserve our flowers while were here.

18.  Train your mind to see the good in every situation.

19.  Speak your future into existence.

20.  Uplift others.

21.  Forgive yourself. What you don’t know, you don’t know.

22.  Spend time alone. Time spent with yourself is the most precious.

23.  Be grateful. No one owes you anything.

24.  Everything takes time. Patience is a virtue.

25.  You are enough.

26.  You are not broken.

27.  Hard work beats talent.

28.  Happiness is a choice.

29.  Give everything your all. Don’t half ass anything.

*****BONUS*****

30.  Be authentic. The world deserves to know the real YOU.

To all my twenty something year olds: You don’t have to have it all figured out yet. Look at all that I’ve learned so far. Your twenties are for self discovery, trial and error. Don’t let anyone tell you anything different. 

Cheers to the last year of my twenties!!!
