Twenty-four

Just sharing a few, well 24, random life truths I have picked up along the way:

1. Gratitude is the key.
2. There IS only one YOU.  And YOU are a work of art.  Per Will Smith “I am a work of art. …I am the paint, and I am the brush, and I am the canvas.”
3. Own your lane.  Run your race.  Make yourself a priority.
4. Every time you are given a choice between disappointing someone else and disappointing yourself, your duty is to disappoint that someone else.” - Glennon Doyle.
5. All events are neutral.  Nothing means anything but the meaning we assign to it. 
6. We can do hard - difficult / challenging things.  We are stronger than we think.
7. It is okay to let go of people, stories, beliefs, and patterns that no longer serve you.  
8. You can always begin again.
9. Trust yourself.
10. Celebrate your life…all of it.
11. Define success for yourself.
12. We are enough just as we are. 
13. To shift your perspective.  Go outside.  Or have a dance party in your living room.  
14. Remember - We are just stardust trapped in a meat suit standing on a ball hurtling through space.
15. Have fun.  Enjoy your life.
16. No is a complete sentence.  Explanations are not required.
17. Laugh at yourself.  Laugh often.
18. Be present.  We really only have now.  
19. There is a difference between being nice and being kind. The first - being nice, leans towards people pleasing and seeking approval. 
20. Be introspective.  Think for yourself.  
21. Your life is shaped by the quality of your questions.  Ask better questions.
22. It’s okay to let go of the past.  Take the lessons.  Release the rest
23. There will be challenges but struggling is a choice. 
24. Everything is energy.  Guard your mind.  
25. Remain curious
