79. Lessons Learned from Two Decades of #Adulting

no comments

On 31 March I turned 41, whoa. I still remember being in my 20s and thinking 40 was “old.” But now here I am 20 years from 21.

I’m very grateful. As my mom ALWAYS says, if you’re not getting older you’re dead. Morbid, but true.

What I love is I know myself so much better than I did 20 years ago. I don’t care what people think, I’ve embraced my weird, and I do what I think is fun. In that time I’ve also done a 180 with my finances, I’m getting better about living a healthier lifestyle, and I no longer kill all plants.

I’ve experienced all facets of love from getting married to having a fur child I adored, to loving and connecting with my five nieces. I’ve also experienced death, disappointment, and regret. All of these things make me who I am today.

This past year alone my dog died, my 16-year-old nephew was murdered, and my grandfather passed away at the age of 85. In that same year, I launched my Life Cleanse Journal, I got to send my niece to an awesome leadership camp, and I traveled a ton. Life has several ups and downs; it’s how we navigate through them that defines who we are.

Here are my biggest takeaways from twenty years of adulting:

Money is Power
Don’t Play With Your Health
Family, However One Defines it, Is Important
You Only Have One Life, Make the Best of It
Life Is Too Short to Hold Grudges
Only Surround Yourself with People Who Bring You Up
Remove Negativity From your Life
Don’t be Afraid to Take Risk
Trust Your Instincts
Believe in Yourself, Be Your Own Person
Feedback is Gift (seek it often, but don’t let it define you)
There is No One True Love (in a world with a billion people, there is someone else out there. You may have had a great love, but that doesn’t mean you won’t find love again)
Be Kind
Go with the Glass Half Full
Forgive Yourself
The Importance of Leaving the City You Were Born In
Hobbies are Important
Your Job and Education Doesn’t Define You
Beauty Is In The Eye of the Beholder
Hard Work, Determination, and Persistence Leads to Success
Breakfast if the Best Meal of the Day
Laughter Cures All
Ask for Help
