as I have. Enjoy!
Top 37 Life Lessons So Far…
1. Happiness comes from within. We
spend way too much of our lives looking
for outside validation and approval that
eludes us. Turns out, it’s been an inside
job all along. Go inward.
2. Be grateful for everything. The good,
the bad, the ugly. Our entire life is a
precious gift. The pleasure, the pain —
it’s all part of our path.
3. Subtle shifts in perception will
transform your entire life. When feeling
fearful, angry, hurt, simply choose to
see a situation differently.
4. In being true to yourself, you can’t
possibly make everybody else happy. Still,
it’s better to risk being disliked for
living your truth than to be loved for
what you are pretending to be.
5. The world is our mirror. What we love
in others is a reflection of what we love
about ourselves. What upsets us about
others is a strong indication of what we
need to look at more closely within
ourselves.
6. Everybody comes into our life for a
reason. It is up to us to be open to the
lesson they are meant to teach. The
more someone rubs us the wrong way, the
greater the lesson. Take notes.
7. Trust. In troubled times, just know
that the Universe has your back and
everything is going to be alright. If
you’re not there yet, trust in hindsight
you will understand. Your higher good is
being supported, always.
8. Never take things personally. What
others do is a reflection of what’s going
on in their own life and probably has
little or nothing to do with you.
9. A walk in nature cures a lot. Taking
in some fresh air and the beautiful
landscape of this earth is amazingly
head-clearing, grounding, and mood-
lifting. Bonus: You can learn a whole lot
about life in your observation of the
awesomeness which is nature.
10. Hurt people hurt people. Love them
anyway. Although, it’s totally okay to
love them from a distance.
You have to feel it to heal it. Bring your
fears and weaknesses front and center
and shine a blazing spotlight on them
because the only way out is through. The
hurt of facing the truth is SO worth it in
the long run, I swear.
11. Perfectionism is an illusion. A
painful one at that. Ease up. Strive for
excellence, sure, but allow yourself room
to make mistakes and permission to be
happy regardless of outcome.
12. Take the blinders off. Don’t become
so laser-focused on your own goals and
desires that you miss out on the beauty
in life and the people around you. The
world is stunningly beautiful when you
walk around with eyes wide open.
13. Celebrate the journey. It’s not all
about the destination. Savor all of your
successes, even the small ones.
14. Forgiveness is not so much about the
other person. It’s about you and for you
so that you can gain the peace and
freedom you deserve. Forgive quickly and
often.
15. We are all incredibly intuitive. When
we learn to become still and listen, we
can tap into some pretty amazing primal
wisdom. Listen to the quiet whisper of
your heart. It knows the way.
16. Let your soul shine! Be authentic.
There is nobody else on this earth just
like you. Step into your truth
wholeheartedly and live and breathe
your purpose.
17. We are powerful creators. Seriously,
bad-asses. With intention, focus, and
persistence — anything is possible. Know
this.
18. I am full of light. You are full of
light. We are all full of light. Some cast
shadows on their own brightness. Be a
beacon of light to others and show them
the way.
19. Don’t take life too seriously! Nobody
gets out alive anyway. Smile. Be goofy.
Take chances. Have fun.
Surround yourself with people who love
and support you. And, love and support
them right back! Life is too short for
anything less.
20. Learn the delicate dance. Have big
beautiful dreams and vision. Chase them
with much passion. But, also hold on to
them all ever so lightly. Be flexible and
willing to flow as life comes at you.
21. Giving is the secret to receiving.
Share your wisdom, your love, your
talents. Share freely and be amazed at
how much beauty in life flows back to
you.
22. On that note, be careful not to give
too much. If you empty out your own cup
completely, you will have nothing left to
give. Balance is key.
23. Say “YES!” to everything that lights
you up. Say “no”, unapologetically, to
anything that doesn’t excite you or you
don’t have the bandwidth for. Time is
one of our most precious resources that
we can never get back. Manage it wisely.
24. Sometimes we outgrow friendships. It
doesn’t mean they’re bad or you’re bad.
It just means you’re on different paths.
Hold them in your heart, but when they
start to hurt or hold you back, it’s time
to give space or let go.
25. Fear is often a very good indicator
of what we really want and need in our
life. Let it be your compass and enjoy
the exciting adventure it leads you on.
26. Overcoming your fears is one of the
most empowering things you can ever do
for yourself. You’ll prove to yourself you
can truly accomplish anything! Major
self-confidence booster.
27. Our bodies are our vehicle to our
dreams. Treat them with love and fuel
them with the best health to feel vibrant
and energized. But, never obsess over
image. Looks are subjective and will fade
in time, anyway. Feeling good, healthy,
and comfortable in our own skin is what
matters most.
28. Let those that you love know it often
and enthusiastically. You can never say
it or show it too much. Your time, total
presence, love, and genuine concern for
their wellness is the greatest gift of all.
29. The present moment is where it’s at.
It’s the only one promised to any of us.
Learn from your past & enjoy the
beautiful memories, but don’t cling or let
them haunt you. And, dream big and be
excited about the future, but don’t
become obsessed. Love this moment,
always.
30. Life is full of highs and lows. We
need them both to grow to our fullest
potential. Just hang on tight and enjoy
the ride.
31. We are all connected as one human
family. Nobody is better or worse than
anyone else — just at different stages
of our journeys and dealing with life
the best way we know how. Recognize
that the other person is you.
32. Practice daily gratitude for all the
blessings in your life, large and small.
Not only is this a high vibe practice that
feels amazing, in practicing regularly
you are creating space for even more
abundance — of joy, love, health, and
prosperity.
33. We are not the center of the
universe, although our ego can make us
feel that way at times. Step outside of
that way of thinking and see the world
and other people’s perspective in a whole
new beautiful light.
34. the world needs more love, light, and
laughter. Go be love.
35. You are the guru. For much of our
lives, we have been told what do, how to
think, what looks good, what “success” is.
You don’t have to buy into any of it. Feel
free to peel back the layers. Think for
yourself. Break the mold. When you stop
doing what everybody else wants you to
do and start following your own
intuition, you will be ridiculously happy.
In looking back at your own life, realize
that every high and low is all part of
your amazing story. Own it! Take cues
and guidance from the universe and you
will continue to go on an incredible ride
as you fully step into your truth and
power.
Age is just a number, but the higher it
gets, the more wisdom and life
experience we’ve amassed. You are never
going to be younger than you are in this
present moment again. So embrace it,
love it, and enjoy it fully!
