So the other day, I saw a post online about "24 things I've learned in 24 years" and thought I'd write my own version of the post, but with 17 years. Below are the 17 things that I've learned in the 17 years I've been alive. Enjoy!
1. Your past has shaped you, but you shouldn’t dwell on it.
2. Most people are too focused on themselves to focus on you, so don’t worry about what other people think of you.
3. Your parents aren’t always right but they are 99% of the time.
4. There are some things in life that you just won’t want to do, but you’ve got to suck it up, do it, and move on.
5. Don’t take everything so seriously; laugh a little.
6. Two words: Hakuna Matata
7. It’s okay to cry.
8. Money can buy a lot, but it can’t buy happiness.
9. Exercise isn’t just about looking good on the outside. Your body will thank you for it.
10. Trust in God at all times.
11. Happiness is a choice. You can choose to live a bitter or joyful life.
12. You can never know too much. Spend more time reading and learning instead of watching mind-numbing tv shows and cat videos.
13. Try something new every once it a while.
14. Smile more often. You never know if your smile will make a stranger’s day.
15. Get off the computer!
16. You are what you eat.
17. No matter how many difficulties and hard times you go through, you will be ok.
The 17 lessons listed above are things I've learned but haven't quite mastered yet. There's so much you can learn everyday if you are open to learning and improving.
