32 Lessons in Life

  1. When a person wants to walk away from you, let them.
  2. It’s okay to dress nicely on weekends. Bumming down when you’re not at work doesn’t have to be your standard.
  3. Drinking water really does impact every portion of our body….internal and external.
  4. It’s okay to make mistakes; PLENTY of mistakes; as long as you learn something from them.
  5. Work like you don’t need money, Love like you’ve never been hurt, and Dance like no one is watching. Enjoy life! If you love music then sing along…..sing loudly. It’s ok.
  6. Dream big. Dreams are the one place where you are allowed to let yourself go as far as possible.
  7. Let people know that you appreciate them. Sometimes they need to know for themselves.
  8. Don’t be afraid of change. It’s the only constant.
  9. Know your own value and worth; professionally and socially.
  10. Listen to the little voice in the back of your head. If you pay close enough attention you will usually find guidance, instructions, or confirmation.
  11. Celebrate yourself.
  12. Love children as hard and as much as you can. They soak it up like little sponges.
  13. Never ask questions that you aren’t 100% positive you want to know the answers to. There are actually some people who don’t believe in asking questions that they don’t already know the answer to. That’s something to consider.
  14. People will often try to project their personal issues onto you. Don’t fall for it. That’s a problem that THEY have, not you.
  15. Never settle!
  16. Make the most out of every opportunity. It may not be what you wanted but it’s what the universe sent you.
  17. Never be afraid to ask questions. If possible, ask them the moment they pop into your head.

  21. Know what looks good on you and what you look good in.
  22. Don’t ever leave the location if you are being “kidnapped” or robbed at gunpoint. He will kill you if he takes you to a secondary location. Wreck the car if you have to.
  23. It is possible to climb trees in dresses. And after a little practice you get good at it.
  24. Just because you’re minding your own business doesn’t mean that people are going to leave you alone. As a matter of fact……it makes you a target.
  25. There are such things as dumb questions.
  26. Men don’t let go as easily as women. I got that from Chele but it is so freakin true that it’s scary.
